Eric Payne

Eric is Chicago-born, New York City-bred, and currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia. A marketing and advertising guy throughout most of his career, Eric has been writing since the 2nd grade when without any prompting he adapted A Charlie Brown Christmas into a play which, after getting his school's approval, he produced, directed, and played the lead character, Charlie Brown. He has published two books of poetry, a parenting book, and the groundbreaking fatherhood and marriage blog, MakesMeWannaHoller.com. He has no problem laughing at himself and sharing the lessons my failures have taught me. This is on full display on his breakout, award-nominated podcast, The Dating After Divorce Survival Guide.

When he isn't writing or coming up with ideas to help small business owners market their brands, he's daydreaming about being a superhero, practicing gratitude, and showering his kids with love and dad jokes they'd rather him keep to himself.
