Eric LIchtenberger is one of the most chill people I know. Some how during all of this chilling, he has been mega busy with a Ride BMX cover, BMX Plus interview and a fresh signature colorway with Sunday. I figured it would probably be a good time to get an update out of the guy and find out what else is new in his life. Jim Cielencki also hooked it up with a bunch of screen grabs from some video stuff they are working on that looks to be real good. So let’s check out what he had to say…

Jim C is a real good example of people in the industry who have worked their way up. Originally starting his career out with Kink as a sponsored rider in 1998 and then joining a few other sponsors over the next years like Odyssey as a professional. As time progressed, he became more and more familiar with how the industry ran, and then in 2005 an opportunity of a lifetime came about; brand manager for a new brand titled “Sunday“. Since then, Sunday has become a worldwide brand, its office has moved from New York to Austin, Texas and more responsibilities have come with the opportunity. I figured it would be a good time to find out a little bit about how Jim landed what many of us would call a dream job and to find out a little bit more about what exactly he does as a “Brand Manager”. Let’s take a look at what he had to say…
