Welcome to

Fretz.net

This is the domain of Dr. Eric Fretz, son of Bruce and Barbara, brother of Lori, husband to Jennifer, Father to Mason, Abrielle, and Enna. I serve others, I seek excellence, I value connection, empathy, and love.

I am an acquired taste, but most agree one worth acquiring. You may like me, you may not – the world is large and we can each easily find other things to do : ). Eagle Scout. Retired Navy Officer with 3 deployments to the Persian Gulf combat zone across two different wars. “The Most Enlisted Officer You’ll Ever Meet”.

Amusingly over-educated. Broadly engaged public servant. Compulsive seeker of social fun. Passionate public speaker. Master Training Specialist. Ordained Minister. Licensed Private Investigator. Rule “bender” extraordinaire. I respect hard work and loyalty and grade my students on whether they Do Epic Shit!

I extend my goodwill and trust to all, but my ill-will is formidable and generally not a repeat experience. I am reflexively antagonistic, and even cruel, to bullies and bureaucrats doing evil in the name of policy. I build virtuous social cults as a hobby… large collections of good humans who enjoy each other’s company and put that energy to productive use supporting each other.

I like making good things happen for other people and making the world a better place, while also enjoying the best of life (people, nature, food, drink, art). Let’s go!
