About Erica

I was born and raised in a small town in Southern Mississippi. I grew up playing softball, golf, running track and cheerleading. I was a bit of a tom boy, always really into watching and playing sports, including fishing! Along with that, my studies in school were my main focus, graduating high school with highest honors and attending colleges in Mississippi, North Carolina and California with emphasis in Architecture and Design.

At the age of nineteen, I left Mississippi and moved to Jacksonville, North Carolina. During my three year stint there, I whimsically sent my photos into Penthouse Magazine. Not really thinking anything of it, Penthouse called to my surprise and wanted to fly me out to Los Angeles, California for a test shoot immediately. The shy and quite tom boy from Mississippi that I was always known as to everyone, instantly became the sexy girl next door when I was selected as the January 2007 Penthouse Pet of the Month.

With new exposure, I made the move to San Diego, California in the summer of 2007 to expand my career in modeling, but mainly to attend Newschool of Architecture and Design. When I wasn\'t in school, I was busy modeling. After being in school for two semesters, and if being a Penthouse Pet wasn\'t good enough, Penthouse readers and executives chose me to become the 2008 Penthouse Pet of the Year. With thousands of girls submitting photos each year, I proved that even a small town southern girl with no background in modeling can become a household name if they really put forth the effort.
