Early Life and Education
Erickson attended Drake University in Des Moines after graduation, competing in track relays and playing the trombone while joining a fraternity and dating a cheerleader. He majored in liberal arts but considered pre-med as his specialty field of study.
Erickson spent much of his childhood immersed in reading. From history and science books, to literature and languages – Erickson was fascinated by human psychology and how people could be led down such dark paths.
In the early 1970s, he pioneered a revolutionary method of extracting logs from forests: heli-logging. Since then, his company has grown to own one of the world’s largest fleet of Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane helicopters; some are named after prominent Native Americans such as Geronimo, Toro Seduto, and Cochise; their Instagram-worthy designs draw considerable attention wherever they travel – they’re especially fast when transporting logs over long distances by ferry flights!
Professional Career
Jack Erickson has had an array of professional experiences: logging, magazine publishing, Russian specialist for the U.S Government, speechwriting and being a lawyer (among many other things). Additionally, he worked as a financial aid counselor.
Erickson began his logging career with his family’s business in 1954, operating Caterpillar and Log Loader machines as well as harvesting timber in the Pacific Northwest. Later he established Erickson Lumber Company, with sawmills in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.
He spent his free time fishing, racing his 210 and windsurfing, as well as serving as strength and conditioning coach for UVA’s football team. Additionally, he holds a Bachelor of Kinesiology from UVA.
