Erik landed his first content consulting gig by chance at a café in Turin, Italy. It was then he realized his passion for words had a life beyond grad school. Returning stateside after a stint teaching English in Europe, Erik worked as copywriter, editor, content manager, and blogger for Bloomspot (recently acquired by Chase) in San Francisco. This experience gave him the chance to collaborate with back- and front-end engineers, designers, and customer support, sales, and marketing teams. When he isn’t navigating the tech terrain, Erik moonlights as an academic coach for high-achieving high school students.
