The son of an electrical engineer and a school teacher,
Eric Soriano was born in San Jose, California on September 13, 1978.
With his parents concerned about broadening his horizons, they
exposed him to many cultures and arts. He held the advantage of
growing up in a militart household where his family would be stationed
in many foreign countries including Japan, the Philippines, and Korea.
In these places he gained new insight, learning to look at the world through
different perspectives. Having had this type of childhood he often attributes
the army culture and war history to his development and construction
of what would become the designs of Imperial Cycles.
