Erik wanted to work for NASA after an unforgettable experience at the Kennedy Space Center when he was 10 years old. Seeing what a team with a mission working together can create left an impact! Now, whether it’s biking four days and 300 miles from Minnesota to Canada or dislocating a finger and having it set to continue a wrestling match, Erik takes every mission seriously. His parents showed him that treating everyone with respect and kindness is key. He brings all this energy to his work as our controller here at Priya. When he’s not in the office, he’s outside. You’ll find him either walking his dog Cooper or hiking, biking or traveling across the country.
