Initially focused on sports, Erik later pursued a career in law enforcement and joined the Chicago Police Department. Encountering many challenges along the way, Erik turned to faith and began understanding Christian practices and the empathetic role required in law enforcement. His faith deepened as he engaged more with the Bible and sought mentorship, leading him to a pivotal role in his church's men's ministry.
