Eric Williams

Eric Williams founded Applied Sports Technology (AST) in January of 2001. His unique background as an athlete and businessman has provided him with the knowledge and drive to successfully lead AST.

Eric reached the height of his athletic career as a Defensive Tackle with the Washington Redskins when they defeated Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVI. He completed his NFL career -- which included six years with the Detroit Lions and four with the Redskins -- in 1994.

Entering the business field, and having a high degree of interest and knowledge in technology, Williams was a perfect candidate to start up two videoconferencing companies and help them become recognized leaders in their field. At View Tech, Eric managed the sales outlets and assisted senior management in the preparation for a successful Initial Public Offering in 1995.

Eric went on to manage the sales outlets and raise capital for Providea Solutions. Before leaving Providea in July of 2001, Williams personally raised $700,000 of private investment capital and assisted the company in exceeding its sales goals. Eric stays active with the NFL through his membership in the National Football League Players Association. Educated at Washington State University, he majored in Agriculture Economics. He is the father of two children and resides in Frisco, TX.
