Hi, I'm Erick, a video creator and the face of the YouTube channel Erick the Dream Giver, based in Detroit, Michigan. Since starting the channel in 2011, I've posted nearly 5,000 videos, earned about 2.9 million views, and grown to 25.1K subscribers. My journey started on the road. I traveled the country in a van and bus with my goat Deer, and newspapers across the country covered us. My most popular video is the time I brought Deer to a Billy Strings show. Out there I met hundreds of people a day and millions over the years, and that taught me how to connect with any audience. Now I bring that energy to social media, where my videos get thousands of views. I have years of photo and video experience, including making commercials. I cover Tesla and EV life in my 2026 Model Y, solar and off-grid builds from 100+ installs (I used to run a solar company in Seattle), DIY woodworking, and local Detroit news with a journalist's approach. Giving back is a big part of who I am. I've run Earth Day festivals across the US for about 10 years and started free markets in Destin, FL around 2006. For years I ran my own nonprofit, the Rock Club Foundation. Today I serve on the board of the Universal Intentional Organization and volunteer with a number of nonprofits. Brands get polished, honest videos from a creator who knows how to tell a story and has a real, engaged community behind him. Every partnership is also a video opportunity: your support can help the nonprofits I work with, and I'll share that story on camera.
