Together, their walk team, “Yosemite Sam,” has raised over $40,000 for type 1 diabetes—her single best life achievement after her kids.
An Indiana native, Erin graduated from Ball State University before moving to Los Angeles, where she worked for a film production company and met her husband, Steve. They now live in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Erin is a freelance writer with experience in travel writing, content development, ghostwriting, biography writing, and blogging. Her award-winning short stories have been published in several anthologies by the League of Utah Writers.

When her nose isn’t glued to a book, Erin enjoys hiking with her family in the beautiful Cottonwood Canyons near her home and traveling to unique destinations. She has deep admiration for all type 1 strong heroes and firmly believes a cure is due.
