Growing up in Dallas, Texas, Erik’s family experienced some significant financial challenges, which made him aware early on of the far-reaching and complex ramifications of financial decision making. The greatest financial risk one faces is the absence of well-defined, clearly articulated goals and a clear course of action to reach them. Erik and his team of specialists work with clients to help them make smart decisions about money by first helping them attain a deeper understanding of their values, financial goals and what is of most importance to them. From there, they help clients get organized and develop a highly personalized strategy that aligns financial choices with their most deeply held values.
Erik regularly holds educational seminars for physicians and their families in the Twin Cities, Atlanta and Chicago working with other medical groups, smaller practices and practice owners. He has held seminars at:
- Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
