When Erika’s not working, she is busy raising her two amazing teenage sons, walking her two lovable labs, and caring for her two floofy cats. Erika loves the pace of life in Minnesota and the opportunity to enjoy bright blue skies on even the coldest winter days. During the pandemic she purchased her first boat, a kayak, and is open to eventually getting something with a motor.
