As a former solar executive and Boeing rocket scientist, Erik has been building products that push the boundaries of technology and bringing them to market for over a decade.

Prior to Curb, Erik worked in the solar industry, identified investment targets for VCs, and oversaw development projects at Boeing. As a staunch supporter of STEM education, Erik has led multiple initiatives to help students develop a passion for solving problems with technology. Erik has an MBA from McCombs at The University of Texas at Austin, a master’s in mechanical engineering from the University of Southern California, and a BA from Pitzer College.
