Eric Seiff went from fearful little boy to captain of Yale's cross-country team to fearless litigator with his own firm. His various adventures along the way included raising his family, working overseas in Rio de Janeiro for two years (and then taking six months to drive back from Brazil!), and taking on challenging criminal defense and family law cases. In between it all he took up running as an alternative to getting kicked in the shins in soccer! Eric Seiff is also former chair of Friends of Van Cortland Park.
