Eric Harrold

Eric Harrold is a jeweler from San Juan Capistrano, CA, who became infamous on the course for his "macho" personality, even growing a mustache that resembled Chuck Norris.

He first competed in American Ninja Warrior 2, as the penultimate runner in qualifying. Despite his goofy demeanor and attitude, he surprisingly managed to clear the entire course with little trouble. Unfortunately, he fell 0.25 seconds short of beating Victor Rivera due to struggling on the Soritatsu Kabe, and as a result, did not qualify for the semi-finals, placing 32nd overall.

He returned to compete in American Ninja Warrior 4 in the Southwest region, being the first runner of the season. However, despite clearing the course two years ago, he rushed and grabbed the Log Grip too low, causing him to shockingly fail the obstacle on the final drop.

He has not competed since.
