Experience

Ned Erickson has over twenty years of experience in helping men and women discover who they were created to be and what that might mean in terms of purpose and calling.

In particular, he has worked for Young Life, an outreach ministry to high school students. He has also worked as a consultant for I-55 Associates in Denver, Colorado where he became Vice President. Most recently, Ned serves as the Founding Director of the Winston-Salem Fellows, a leadership and professional development program for men and women who are transitioning from college to career.

He is also the author of four books: a memoir, Falling Into Love: How an Average Guy Got the Girl of His Dreams; a novel, Clay (A novel about finding purpose); and two non-fiction books called Get This: the answers to life’s final exam and The Reason: why you were made.

Ned and his wife Lia have two children, Anna Rose and David. His family loves the outdoors, particularly fishing, hiking and rock climbing. Ned also loves to run. As a matter of fact, in 2014 he set the record for running the North Carolina section of the Blue Ridge Parkway: 252 miles in 4 days, 8 hours, and 38 minutes. Recently, he ran 300 miles as a member of a team that raised money for MOJI a new coffee shop that employs Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled men and women.
