Erik was later hired as the Online Scheduling Department Leader. I thoroughly enjoyed having Erik as my Department Leader and came to consider him as one of the best managers I have worked for and a top manager at the station. He is honest, dependable, and incredibly hardworking. He treated each employee he managed with respect and consideration. I always had complete confidence that I could bring any problem or issue to him, knowing he would work diligently to help me find a solution. He put the needs of his team first, ensuring we had the tools to be successful at our positions. His knowledge of plant systems, outage scheduling, processes and expertise in work scheduling was a huge advantage to our department and the station.

He is understanding of his team's personal life, yet encourages all his people to show up being their best. In my short tenure with Erik, I wanted to continually improve because I know he appreciated my efforts. If I was ever in a position of not understanding the task, or overwhelmed by workload Erik took the time to stop and listen to me, and encourage me that I was doing great and to keep going. Erik's knowledge of Program & Project Management is vast. He can break down huge projects and keep the parts moving so that the whole project moves towards the finish line. He has command over the information and is well spoken in his presentations to Senior Leadership. I see Erik's future as a leader of great teams building incredible futures for all of us. "
