Eric's father was a career Naval officer whose service reached back to the World War II era. Due to his father's international Navy assignments, Eric grew up all over the world and is fluent in Spanish, French and Italian. He graduated from a High School in Louisiana, so he could follow in this father's footsteps and attend the US Naval Academy.
Eric's career as a Naval officer featured studies at the United States Naval War College and various leadership positions on U.S. warships. He served off the coast of Lebanon and in the Persian Gulf as the Executive Officer of the strike Destroyer, USS Elliott. Throughout his career he served on nine ships, leading over 5000 personnel, often under hostile conditions.
Massa´s capstone Navy assignment was as the military aide for NATO's Supreme Allied Command and four-star General, Wesley Clark. Massa worked closely for Clark during General Clark’s top-level assignments in Washington, Panama and Belgium.
Eric is very familiar with the inner workings of Congress having served as congressional liaison for General Clark and after his retirement as a Staff Member of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee. Eric was also a Senior Advisor to General Clark’s Presidential campaign in 2004.
