I am married to Amy and we have four children, Eva, Brewer, Amelia and Kate. Both Amy and I grew up in the Monroe area and have enjoyed building our careers and raising our children in this wonderful community. I currently hold the CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certificant. I also offer purpose-based advice as part of our Financial Planning Framework. Erik serves as the treasurer for the Monroe Kiwanis Club.

I have two children, Tyler and Abbey and have lived in Monroe for the past 20 years. Prior to joining Thrivent Financial in 2016, I was the Business Development Director for Woodford State Bank. I currently am serving my second term on the Monroe School Board, I am the President of Green County Development Corporation and I serve as the Generosity Day coordinator for our team. I currently hold the RICP® (Retired Income Certified Professional) designation specializing in guiding people through important decisions leading up to and through retirement. I recently also added the CDFA® (Certified Divorce Financial Analyst) designation to the list of specialties. My passion is to help empower women finding themselves in a life transition (loss of spouse, divorce, retirement or career changes) to understand their finances and achieve their goals.
