About Central Bark Manitowoc
Erik became a customer while deciding to purchase the store and loved it so much he did just that! Erik, recently retired from a 20-year career in the telecommunications industry where he worked in a variety of areas ranging from monitoring and dispatching analog and digital circuit troubles, to dispatch center management and finally technology system design, development and maintenance. Prior to this, he was a small business manager in a variety of industries, from oil change and car wash to fast food, and, even a Halloween store. Erik lives with his wife, Doris, and their 4 fur-kids, Madigan, an 8-year-old Toy Fox Terrier; a 6-year-old Catahoula mix, Judith; and their two Basenjis, 5-year-old Jasper and Lillian who is almost 3. Their dogs have always been an important part of their lives and give back as Basenji Rescue and Transport (BRaT) volunteers and are four-time past adopters. As a dog parent, Erik understands and appreciates the trust customers place in him to care for their fur-babies.
