What the heck is ErieMax???

I have been getting asked this question quite a bit lately, so I thought I’d write this out. I’m sure I will think of more to put here in the future, but for now this will do.

ErieMax is the umbrella that I carry over all of my projects and endeavors. It stands for Erie Maximum Entertainment, although it’s become so much more in the last five years. I wish that I could have a website for each…
