Erik holds a Bachelors of Science in Economics with a concentration in accounting from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo. He spent 21 years in the business world and, after his experience at the Hoffman Process, decided it was time to switch careers.

His passion is igniting human potential and guiding people to discover their true potential. After coaching athletes in the CrossFit world, Erik opened Aspen CrossFit, where he spent a decade helping people reach new heights in their lives with fitness and nutrition, and discover that they could do much more than they ever thought possible.
