Erik (also known as "torgospizza" in places like reddit and Twitter) traded snow for sun when he moved from Upstate New York to San Diego in October of 2006, just a mere 2 months after RiffTrax's inception. After registering for the RiffTrax forum and noticing a posting for a web developer job, his resume (full of animated GIFs and proto-memes) landed him the position of Web Guy.
His hobbies include eating the spiciest food imaginable, watching terrible movies (that are usually not even riff-worthy), and trying his hand at home cooking. He currently lives with his wife Meg and their two cats in Portland, Oregon.
