Erik first picked up a golf club at the age of nine and ever since has held a strong passion for the game of golf. After working in the industry for a number of years, he turned his sights to becoming a teaching professional.

Erik was elected to the Southern California PGA Metro Chapter Board of Directors in October of 2002 and appointed to the Southern California PGA teaching committee in 2008. He had the fortunate opportunity to work under three different SCPGA "Teacher of the Year" award winners and considers himself fortunate to have mentored under former PGA Tour player Moon Mullins.
