Ken Erickson | Project Manager
Raised on an Idaho potato farm, Ken remembers having to find his own fun as a kid. He quickly discovered the pencil and a designer was born. He learned how to play bass guitar in high school and it took him around the world in a band.
He picked up a wife and a degree in graphic design at Biola University, and went to work with a nonprofit that sends people to Asia to teach English. He climbed the nonprofit ladder and went from designer to art director--along with a brief stint as photographer on a trip to China--and now he's putting that personality to work for us.
Random Fact:
Spent an entire month in Baja, Mexico studying desert plants and wildlife like birds and whales.
Other Title:
Accordionist. Ken started by playing the piano and then any instrument he could get his hands on, which included his grandfather's accordion from the 1920s.
Quote:
"The average man thinks he isn't." -Unknown
51:
Total number of potted cacti Ken had around the house at the height of his obsession (that's what happens when you spend a month in Baja). With therapy he's now cut back to around 40.
