Erik holds board and advisory roles with small businesses and non-profit organizations focused on social impact and accelerating growth.
Outside of work, Erik spends time with his wife Susan and two daughters, Adelaide and Hazel. He supports community orchestras and enjoys playing the violin - especially with Sue on flute - and is active with northeast STEM groups focused on model rocket design and construction.
