Ben Erickson

 

Born in 1975, Ben Erickson grew up in Minnesota, where he was doodling cars long before he could read and write. A special interest are American cars from the challenging years in the 1970s and 1980s when, as Ben says, “they did the best with what they had”. ISO, all things Maserati, especially the Biturbos and other cars by Alejandro DeTomaso hold a special place in his heart, as do Volvos and SAABs. Currently, an AC Cobra MK IV and a Maserati Shamal occupy the garage. He holds a Masters in linguistics and is fluent in four languages including Finnish. After having been an exchange student to Denmark, Ben Erickson moved from the USA in the mid 1990s, and has settled in Denmark after a brief stay in Finland. He has worked for a number of years in the IT industry. Spare time is devoted to music, cars and car shows both in Denmark and abroad.
