Erik's radio career began in the mid-1990s working for the Des Moines Radio Group as a Disc Jockey and Promotions Assistant for KSTZ-FM, KAZR-FM, and KIOA-FM. All three stations rated #1 in their key demographics. It wasn't long before he was lured over to television news, working for KCCI/CBS News Channel 8 in Des Moines.

In the summer of 1999, Erik made his way to Milwaukee and back into radio, where he began his work at Newsradio 620 WTMJ. It started with producing in the evenings and anchoring on the weekends and has since transformed to reporting and anchoring middays. Erik is also lucky enough to spend time reporting and writing for Wisconsin's Morning News.

Erik is a graduate of Drake University with a BA in Electronic Media. He and his family currently reside in Wauwatosa with their cat and dog, Marley and Jevin.
