Biography: Erik retired from the Overland Park, Kansas Police Department in 2016 after 25 years of service. Erik began as a patrol officer and during the course of his career had the opportunity to work as an investigator and as one of the first school resource officers in the midwest. Erik was promoted to Captain in 2007 and supervised the midnight patrol shift in Overland Park for a number of years. After retirement, Erik started his journey into mindfulness practice and study after hearing about Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) during a meditation retreat. He was inspired to explore ways to share its powerful methods with first responders while deepening his own personal practice. Erik has received MBSR Teacher training through the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and the Mindfulness Center at the Brown University School of Public Health, where he recently completed Level One MBSR teacher training. He is a certified instructor in PauseFirst: Mindfulness for First Responders and has received formal instruction on a number of subjects related to mindfulness meditation, ranging from mindful leadership to neuroscience studies on the effects of mindfulness meditation.
Erik teaches classes and gives public presentations on mindfulness meditation regularly through Midwest Alliance for Mindfulness (https://mindfulness-alliance.org/). |
