Welcome

Welcome! My name is Eric Funk and this is my private homepage containing work examples and my latest travel photos.

I am currently employed as Head of development at Swiss TXT in Switzerland. Until March 2009 I was working as Technical Director in Brighton based digital marketing company Kerb Ltd kerb.co.uk. I also spent some  months last year in Southeast Asia where I went trekking in Nepal and climbed a  volcano in Indonesia.
