Leland native Eric Shawbitz has always been in love with playing dirty, gathering rocks, and even climbing trees.

“I got into that because it sounded like fun to climb trees ... started that 10 years ago and mind you, that was when I was 34,” he said.

Shawbitz, 44, grew up in Traverse City and graduated from Leland in 1999.
