Eric Brockmeyer
Eric Brockmeyer has always had a strong passion for all things automotive and a certain sweet spot for classic American Hot Rods!
Building models and drawing cars was a favorite pastime of his when he was a child. Drawing cars was merely a hobby until his future wife, Pam, nudged him to pursue his interest. He them decided to enroll in the Art Institute of Ford Lauderdale which was a fairly small school but nothing short of professional instructors and great talent.
He graduated in only 3 years with a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design in 1999 and set out to start his career. When Sea Ray Boats posted a job for a designer, Eric jumped at the chance to join their team. He was hired on in the design department from 1999-2003. The small design group gave him a lot of experience in all aspects of boat designing. In his four years, he was responsible for anything from creating a concept for a new exterior styling to interior layouts to graphics. Whether it was a fun day or a stressful one, it was always challenging and gave him a great opportunity to learn a great deal about the industry. While the boat business was a great start for hands on career experience, Eric longed for his true passion, cars. He had been designing car concepts every evening building a portfolio for talent and fun, so in 2003, he made the leap and resigned from Sea Ray Boats to focus on customs and Hot Rods with a small in-home studio and began working.
In his career, Eric Brockmeyer has had the opportunity to work with some amazing clients on amazing projects. Boyd Coddington was provided with Eric's designs from 2003 on and went on to help him design cars for his program on Discovery Channel, "AMERICAN HOT ROD". He also received the opportunity to work with Johnson's Hot Rod Shop on the design and presentation of the 2009 Ridler winner, "Deucenberg". Also in 2009, he assisted with the design of the "street machine of the year" which was a 1962 Corvette roadster built by the Roadster Shop.
