For the past number of years, I have had the opportunity to work with Erik as both a colleague and as his project supervisor. Erik is a dedicated and focused worker that maintains a high level of professionalism. As a Lead Technical Artist he is an excellent problem solver that rises to any challenge, to contribute productive solutions and, see the job through to successful completion. Erik fosters a positive team atmosphere, has excellent communication skills and a willingness to help everyone. I would highly recommend Erik in any lead position he is an invaluable member of any team.

Erik is an extremely professional and talented person who I worked closely with during Bionic Commando. He is an excellent leader, a great task solver and always helpful. Erik has an great sense of humor and he is really fun to work with. He is definitely one of those people I really miss working with. I strongly recommend Erik to any company and I hope I get to work with him again.
