As a Naturopathic Doctor, Erik has long sought to reconcile traditional, spiritual wisdom with cold, hard science. It is the balance between these two seemingly incompatible philosophies that fuels much of his writing (with, of course, healthy doses of gunfire, globe-trotting, and romantic tension thrown in for good measure).
When not at his day job, Erik spends his time writing, exercising, and working towards a passable proficiency in the Cantonese language. He lives with his wife and their cat just outside Chicago, Illinois.
