Along with his wife and three adult kids, Erik has been a resident of Montana's Bitterroot Valley for over 20 years. Erik's journey to joining TNF began in earnest in 2020, when he started leading men's Bible studies at his church.  In 2021, while he and one of his sons were participating in a TNF Heroic Journey, he realized that he had a deep heart desire to serve in the same way.  After 25+ years in IT, Erik found himself at a career crossroads in 2022, and God's providence led him to realize his dream of being in full-time ministry by joining TNF in 2023.  Erik loves skiing with his kids in winter, and road trips and traveling with his family in spring, summer and fall.

Samuel joined the New Frontier at the end of 2023. He helps manage the TNF property in Montana and completes maintenance as well. He grew up in Illinois but always had big dreams of moving to Montana. Over the last couple of years God had been up to a lot in his heart; and was growing a desire to serve in ministry. Samuel is passionate about helping young people discover the love that the Heavenly Father has for them, along with the identity and purpose that He desires to bestow upon them. Samuel loves story, and helping others discover the importance of their part in the Father’s Story is one of his favorite parts of working at TNF. Samuel loves movies (Especially Star Wars), spending time with friends and family, and enjoying the adventures that Montana has to offer.
