About

Erik has been leading worship for churches, camps, and retreats since college.  Writing songs to find depth within corporate worship, he has put together 2 self-produced EP’s and his first full-length album, Fiat Lux, is coming out in early 2012!  He has a heart to use music as a tool to lead people toward God:

“We have to lead people with purpose and stop simply facilitating singalongs.  If we are leading the prayers & praise of the saints, which are powerful and effective for moving the heart of God and causing spiritual havoc, then we should do more than just sing songs. Leading worship happened by accident.  The worship leader at my church in college left so the leaders came to me and said, ‘you can play the guitar so you are our new worship leader.’  God hasn’t let me put it down since that time.  I was kind of thrown into the deep end of pool and had to learn how to swim.”

Erik has been married to the love of his life, Emily, for 5 years and have one son.  He is a Missional Leader with Connect Missions and provide leadership for the organic church movement called Every Street NOLA leading a missional outreach to neighborhoods in New Orleans called ELEMENTNOLA.
