Erik began his study of orthotics and prosthetics in Minnesota at Century College while still in high school. He completed his studies while working as a Registered Nursing Assistant. After finishing his clinical studies at Fairview Hospital and Trautman Prosthetics in Minneapolis, he went on to earn his license as a Prosthetist Orthotist in the State of Texas.

Erik worked in various orthotics and prosthetic facilities in Central Texas before founding Round Rock Orthotics and Prosthetics in 2000, bringing together the best practices from his previous experiences. His vision was to create a patient friendly environment by allowing practitioners to spend more time with patients to truly understand their challenges while still providing the best biomechanical techniques. Now part of Hanger Clinic, the Round Rock Orthotics and Prosthetics team continues to provide the best possible care.

Outside of the office, Erik enjoys spending time with his two sons and has a passion for fishing that has led him to be involved in local bass clubs. On the weekends you will find him fishing in tournaments, riding his motorcycle, or hanging out by the pool with family and friends.​
