Sharing why he wanted to coach young students, Erik said, “Making the world a more beautiful place is my goal as a maker of things and making the world a better place is my goal as a person. Teaching young people to respect themselves and their own abilities is the first step toward that end.”
Erik now works with various clients as he continues to teach woodworking crafts through various platforms, including Instagram and YouTube.
