About Erik Aadland
Erik Aadland was born into an Army family as the son of Major General (Ret.) Anders and Sandra Aadland. Moving over 21 times, Erik graduated from High School in Heidelberg, Germany, then went on to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. Graduating in 2002 as a member of the first graduating class after 9/11, Erik was commissioned an Army officer and went on to serve with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, during which he received two Bronze Stars (one for valor).
Erik left the Army as a Captain in 2011 to pursue a career in the Oil and Natural Gas industry, which culminated as a Project Manager managing the onshore construction of the Leviathan Project in Dor, Israel. After leaving his company in 2020, Erik finished his master’s degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Depth Psychology, seeking to become a counselor to veterans and those who have experienced trauma. However, seeing the country’s future imperiled by a corrupt establishment, Erik once again feels called to honor his oath to defend the Constitution by running for Congress, committed to putting Colorado first.
Erik’s proudest accomplishment is his marriage of almost 16 years and his three children (ages 7, 5, and 1). Erik and his family make their home in lovely Pine, CO.
