PROGRAMMING

2,800 Mountains: Three Decades of Climbing  Fewer than fifty Americans have climbed so many mountains, and Erik's one of them. In this program he shares 100 images from America's greatest ranges.

True Wilderness: The Adirondacks and the Trans Adirondack Route  Erik’s 100 best images from the largest forest preserve in the Lower Forty-Eight are shared among discussions of adventure, history, and ecology.

Adirondack Place Names: Why is That Thing Called That?  100 place names are historically deciphered via a decade of research. As Erik says, "Behind every name there's a story, and the story's usually good."

Erik possesses an Associate's in Wilderness Leadership, a Bachelor's in Speech Communication with a concentration in Public Speaking, and a Master's in Clinical Social Work. He's been honored with teaching and speaking awards, has spoken at a hundred venues, and has broken attendance records.
