Erik Sven Anderson 

Erik was born July 25, 1986, in Denver, Colorado, to Greg and Jill Anderson. Days after his birth, he was brought to their home in the small mountain community of Conifer, Colorado, where he lived his entire childhood in the same home, spending idyllic days playing outside and exploring nature. Erik attended local schools and graduated from Conifer High School in 2005. He developed award-winning interests in photography and ceramics and loved outdoor sports, including hunting, mountain biking and camping, often with his friend Nic Johnson. He loved animals and spent countless hours with his beloved Labrador Boston. Erik participated in several Outward Bound courses and developed a love for activities that involved water: fishing, diving, snorkeling and boating around Fripp Island, South Carolina, where his family visited frequently.
