His manager shared:
“Erik has shown tremendous drive, integrity, and impact over the last several months. He has consistently stepped up by taking additional calls, covering on-call shifts, and dedicating time to further his training and development.

Erik’s Commitment to Customers and Teammates
One of the qualities that sets Erik apart is his willingness to help others succeed.
Whether he’s mentoring a teammate, sharing knowledge, or stepping in when additional support is needed, Erik has become someone both coworkers and leadership can rely on. His positive attitude and commitment to doing things the right way help ensure our customers receive the high-quality service Cooper has been known for since 1978.

Why Erik Chose Cooper Heating & Cooling
Born and raised in Denver, Erik takes pride in serving the community he calls home.
When asked what he enjoys most about working at Cooper, he points to the company’s commitment to growth, innovation, and long-term success.
Erik appreciates that Cooper continues to adapt to new technologies, invest in new business strategies, and stay ahead of changes within the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical industries. That forward-thinking approach creates opportunities for employees to grow while helping ensure Cooper remains a leader in the Colorado home services market.
He’s also seen former coworkers leave for other opportunities only to return later.
For Erik, that’s a testament to the company’s culture, stability, and future.
“People recognize that Cooper is here for the long haul,” he says.

When he’s not helping customers stay comfortable, Erik enjoys spending time with his family.
He’s a proud father to a four-year-old son and a daughter who recently graduated from high school. Whether it’s spending quality time with his kids or supporting them in their activities, family is always a top priority.
