Erik has lived in the US for most of his adult life. In high school he started and owned a small product webshop business, played soccer until he was 21 years old, studied economics and computer science, and been a part of Younium since the beginning of 2019.

Currently he lives in New York to focus on establishing Younium in North America. During his free time he tries to enjoy as much of the city as possible. Everything from great eats, art, events (New York Rangers games at the garden most importantly), to the most divey dive bars, pubby pubs, and roofy rooftops. But most of the time he reads, runs, and do a lot of coding as he's taken up studying computer science again part-time. Erik loves to learn things, and outside computer science, have an interest in astrophysics, and a passion for climate action. 🌏💪🏼
