Eric "Ric" Contreras

I was in the employment & training for 25 years, the Tribal Administrator at Big Sandy Rancheria for 6 years. I owned a Importer/Wholesaler Spirits, Wine and Beer company (Don Rico Beverage, Inc.). I now serve as Tribal Executive Officer for the Chaushila Tribe of Yokuts (Chowchilla).
I am an alumni from Clovis H.S., Fresno State, Fresno City College, and earned a BS degree in Business Admiration from Regis University.

I am privileged to have become friends with six individuals who have made a major contribution to my life, John Rivera, Jim Linenback, Oscar Pendergass, Tony Juarique, Terry Cervantes, & Loren Baty. We still meet regularly for coffee & breakfast, also we are a part of a group known as the Pinedale/Clovis Breakfast Group, headed by Robert Sandoval (64). All from classes '58 to '65. Theres at times twenty or so of us meet for coffee & breakfast. Thank you Robert "Bobby" Sandoval for a great effort to bring us together.

"Sing we now to Clovis High, sons and daughters true; Raise our colors to the sky, cheer the Gold and Blue; Hearts and Voices now we raise, neath thy domes to sound thy praise, loyalty to thee we bring.
Hail! Hail! Hail!"
