He completed his Finnish defense forces service in 2004 as a class A infantry. Participating in, leading and organizing solar projects in Central America, Europe, Africa and India, Eerik is striving to push the boundaries of where solar thermal can go and so he founded Solar Fire Concentration Oy in 2012 .

He enjoys chess, guitar and nature, and loves living close to lakes and trees with his wife Eva and daughter in Tampere. He is Finnish-Canadian and speaks English, French and some Finnish.
