After decades of chasing the American Dream, Erik traded it all for a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia. Now living in Chiang Mai, he writes with equal parts grit and grace—sharing wild, unforgettable nights, quiet moments of clarity, and the raw truth about what it really means to start over after 50.
His work dives into freedom, reinvention, intimacy, aging boldly, and the beautiful chaos of life lived outside the lines. Whether he’s getting drunk with locals in a bar that doesn’t exist on Google Maps, or watching the sunrise alone behind a 7-Eleven with a cup of hot chocolate, Erik captures the stories most people are too afraid to tell—and invites you to rethink everything you thought you knew about comfort, courage, and what comes next.

Currently writing from a cafe in Chiang Mai, my upcoming book is a raw, unfiltered account of one man’s midlife reboot in a country where freedom still feels real. Due out later this year, ‘How I Escaped America and Fled to Thailand’ is for every dreamer, wanderer, and late bloomer who knows in their gut: there’s more to life than cubicles and credit scores.
