MARKETING DIRECTOR
Erik is a California transplant that relocated from Michigan in 2018. He enjoys the boundless sunshine and recreation our county has to offer, and he’s proud to contribute creativity and marketing strategy to our region’s story. Erik brings a wide range of skills to the EDC. He spent over a decade in live TV, photography, and graphic design, before discovering that marketing and strategy were an even better fit for his talents. After spending a few years exploring the marketing side of state government he met his wife, took a hop, skip, and jump across the country and got plugged into Redding. When Erik’s not at the EDC he is with his better half running their small business and engaging our local startup scene. Erik believes our region has a bright future and looks forward to contributing to our economic prosperity today and long into the future!
