Erik became an independent software development and design consultant to Digital Corporation's manufacturing systems technology group at age 17. By age 20 he owned his first private aircraft.

  • The skills & experiences that equipped him to deal with complexities.
  • The extreme fun of making sense of the world through history and a macro perspective.
  • Why you can get away with breaking the rules—more often than other generations.
