Eric Walker was born in Tifton, Georgia but lived all over the world since his father was in the military. His main work background has been as a corporate trainer for  both independently owned establishments and well known restaurant chains of which he opened well over 23 new ones since 1992. While in Tennessee he stated his own construction business, but couldn’t stay away from the hospitality industry.  Nothing else in life can compete with his two children, who he refers to as his biggest accomplishment to date. Once again, Eric is starting something new! He has recently taken over the responsibility of General Manager, helping a friend make LUX the number one nightclub in Orlando. LUX is located off of International drive and offers a different theme every night to match the variety of flavors and cultures that make up Orlando’s nightlife, while providing a nice alternative to the chaos of downtown.  I was very impressed to see Eric go from overseeing the door, to the VIP area, to rolling up his sleeves and being very hands on behind the bar. It’s no surprise that he’s on the right track to opening his own venue soon. When I asked Eric to leave me with some last words for our interview, he said: “You are a commodity. Everyone has something that someone else wants. The trick is to find that with-in yourself and market it with confidence. Nobody is going to give it to you. You WANT it- you have to GO GET IT!”  To contact email:  eric@luxorlando
