“This is a program that no one offers in this region of the country.” – Eric Fullilove
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
His basketball coach in high school told him that he would never make it in life without basketball. While daunting as it may have sounded at the time, through the grace of God he quit the team and raised his GPA and made the honor roll 3 semesters in a row. He wanted to major in Engineering in college and his counselors told him he would never make it because he wasn’t excellent in math and science. Later he went to The Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), one of the top Engineering schools in the country and far exceeded expectations and earned an Electrical Engineering degree. This level of perseverance allowed him to become a successful entrepreneur.

What were you like growing up?
I was normal Southside middle class kid who went to private catholic schools. I was raised the right way and stayed out of trouble. I was heavy into basketball and just hanging out with my friends. I was generally quiet but certainly a leader amongst my peers. I always had a drive to be the best at whatever I was doing because I hated and still do hate losing.
