Erik is a first generation American with a Central American Caribbean mother, and a father of European descent. With his multicultural background, he blends into the American landscape particularly in this era of cultural diversity. In much of his comedy, he pokes fun at himself, his mother, his stepfather, breaking up with a girlfriend, his Roman nose, and Americans asking, What are you?

Who I'd like to meet: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous.
Actually, who are you not to be?
-Marianne Williamson

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. I give you my heart felt Gratitude for the GIFT of your friendship.
