Erick moved to the US from Mexico when he was 9 years old. He has attended San Rosa Junior College and UC Santa Barbara focusing on Economics and Spanish.

He enjoys gardening and loves hiking and mountain biking on the trails of Marin. When asked what motivated him to take this role, he answered, "
I love helping people find their way into a construction path that's right for them."
