Ann Erickson

Ann grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, and cherishes summers spent visiting her grandparents’ small farm in rural western Iowa, where she developed a love for the outdoors. As a parent to two adopted children—one from Guatemala and one from Houston—she values family deeply. Alongside parenting, Ann is handy and has even considered a Ms. Fix-It side business. Her curiosity about people has inspired her to learn their backstories, a passion that’s taken her to celebrate Christmas in Guatemala and to appreciate the kind spirit of Bali’s Hindu culture during a visit to Indonesia.
