Erik Kerr | Bend, OR
Passions: Skiing, snowboarding, beach volleyball, surfing, mountain biking, hiking, camping, SUP, guitar, craft beer, wakesurfing, design & branding, and hanging with his wife and 6-month old daughter.
Bio: Erik most recently spent the last 13+ years in the ski industry - crafting, scheming, and creating for a proudly independent ski resort in Rossland, British Columbia known as RED Mountain, leading their branding and marketing. He's been fortunate enough to have a nearly 20-year career in the design and marketing world, much of it tied to his passion for the outdoors. In October 2025, Erik left RED and soon welcomed his first child into the world. What started as a creative side project in between diaper changes, evolved into founding Nature is Dope. - a brand that has now snowballed into something incredibly special on so many levels. Thanks for reading this. Thanks for being here. And thank you for supporting something bigger than just an apparel brand. See you out on the trail!
What are you working on now? Nature is Dope.
