Erik helps people design lasting growth and transformation. He brings close to two decades of teaching, design, professional learning and development, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), organizational change, and research experiences from across secondary education, higher education, and industry contexts. Whether working with individuals, teams, or organizations, he believes that deep empathy and caring, rooted in human-centered design, systems thinking, and futures thinking best supports clients in finding their solutions. He is an author or co-author of numerous articles and book chapters and of the book Design for Change in Higher Education. When not facilitating or helping other facilitators grow, you might find Erik building LEGOs with his kids, hiking a trail in the great pacific northwest, or rooting for his MSU Spartans (Go Green!).
