About the Author
Eric Stromer, named one of People magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive"
and iParenting's "father of the month," created clean-up solutions
for TLC's Clean Sweep-for which he has solved problems in
over 250 rooms and remodeled nearly 50 homes! In Fall 2005, Eric
also starred in NBC's primetime show, Three Wishes, the
much-heralded series designed to grant wishes and inspire hope to
families and communities across America, co-hosted by Grammy-winner
Amy Grant.
Eric studied theater at the University of Colorado, where he began
work in construction to make ends meet. Upon graduation, Eric moved
to Los Angeles, where he began remodeling houses. His eye for
design and great craftsmanship captured the attention of celebrity
clients like Mel Gibson, Elijah Wood, Dylan McDermott, among
others. Eventually, Eric landed a role on the soap opera Santa
Barbara, and his new career in front of the camera was born.
Eric is the father of two boys and a husband to an accomplished and
busy woman. Following his own dad's example, Eric brings his family
closer together by engaging in building projects as a team.
