Erik Swierk

Erik Swierk has always been drawn to history, from exploring family stories to imagining the tales behind abandoned artifacts. He believes capturing and sharing these stories with future generations is more accessible and rewarding than ever. Rather than leaving photos and memories untouched, Erik took action to preserve them.

Passionate about inspiring others, Erik encourages everyone to record memories, ask about family photos, and preserve the stories that bring history to life. His goal is to help others create vibrant, meaningful connections to their family history.

Through his own journey, Erik moved beyond simply collecting names and dates, discovering deeper motivation with each story uncovered. After navigating challenges like organization and scattered family trees, he found tools like Storied.com, where he could finally build a complete and dynamic picture of his family’s past. Erik’s mission is to inspire others to paint their family history with the same richness and color for future generations to appreciate.
