Found out this past week that Eric is no longer with Global.

I called there to place an order with Eric and was told that he has moved on.

I wish him well in his new adventures.

He always found the time to talk, email me back in a timely manner when I asked him for advice and ball questions.

I am sure he will have success in the real estate business.

Good luck and thanks again,
Mike Thill
 

Wow. Great guy with great customer service skills. 900/AMF will miss him. Good luck dude.

 Eric Thomas, you will be missed. You were the single reason I continued to throw A.M.F. stuff as long as I did.

 ALWAYS had time to answer a question, reply to e-mail, and made sure that customers were happy with the company and its products.

 Good luck in your future endeavors.

Agreed, Eric is a great asset to the bowling industry and his talents and expertise will be greatly missed by everyone. He was always quick to provide advise and never hesitated to fix a problem when it came to his attention. A true class act simply put.

On a side note, did anyone notice that Matt McNiel is no longer with 900 Global/AMF? Think he has moved to Brunswick since his enrollment and addition to the Wichita State Bowling team. Hope he comes back after his time there. He was great for the promotion of 900 Global & AMF products.

I wonder if it has to do anything with Figs jumping ship from EBI and taking over 900 Global/AMF.  But in either case, Eric is known as one of the good guys and I wish him the best wherever he may end up.

Figs is a really cool guy as well! He bowled in the league we bowled in Clarksville, TN when he was with Track! I've talked to him different times and when he would go to some of the local tournaments, he was very nice!

Did Figs (Paul Figliomeni, former product manager at Track) replace Eric at 900Global?

I believe it had to do with spending more time with his family.
Not sure how much he had to travel for Global.

It will be interesting to see who becomes the "face" for Global/AMF.

It could possibly be Robert Smith, since he is designing the new Global Elements product line for them.  Smith has also been doing many demos for AMF/900 Global over in Asia for the past several years and helped them grow internationally.  Plus, he bailed on the PBA to stay with 900 Global last year since 900 Global was loyal to him.
