About Eric Bright
There is a saying, “When work, commitment, and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible” (Nancy Coey). As a video game buyer for Wal-Mart, I get to live that dream everyday. I have been in buying or marketing for video games for over 8 years now, but I have been playing games since the days of the Atari 2600. (That’s Asteroids and Missile Command if you don’t know what I’m talking about. Having spent 8 years as an apparel buyer before my video game days, I’m kind of a quirky mix of techie geek with a fashion sense who loves pop culture. Odd? Yes. Appropriate for my job? Defiantly yes. Being a Buyer means being able to anticipate trends, knowing your product category, and knowing your customer. It’s more than my job. It’s my passion.
