MEET THE TEAM

David Baumgarten is author of “100 Ways to Conserve” a creative book on environmental awareness, and EVP of Baumgartens Exclusive Imports, a multi-generational business awarded Manufacturer of the Year six times and recognized eco-leader.

After a peace mission in Austria, Baumgarten walked across America to reduce tax spent on nuclear warheads. Recovering from cancer, he challenged himself with motorcycling from San Francisco, California to Ushuaia, Argentina, and creating a music festival in Atlanta, both of which generated contributions valued at approximately half a million to bring awareness to cancer prevention.

Most recently, Baumgarten galvanized Georgia corporations and individual donors to send five container-loads of clothing, medical and school supplies to Haiti for earthquake relief.

As a post-graduate in The Neuroscience of Leadership from Middlesex University, David lends his skills and talks to those interested in brain-based learning and development at the C-level. David is currently living his finest adventure with his wife and eight-year-old son in Atlanta.

After earning a degree from University of the Arts in Industrial Design, Eric quickly began to integrate different creative touch points such as identity, logo, print, web design, fashion, product design and video art direction.

His passion lies in telling authentic stories, along with embarking on creative and extraordinary adventures. Whether through food, travel, art & design or through entertainment, he thrives in connecting with people. For him, helping create a global movement around happiness through The Happiness Ride, is yet another chance to engage and share with others while validating the connectedness of humanity around the world.

With two brilliant and inspiring daughters, two pugs and a wife keeping Eric on the edge of his seat, he’s always on the move exploring design, film, music and playing in bands around Atlanta.
