Get some life experience after college, they say.
Go and travel the world.
Be a peon for a Fortune 500 company and learn from the best, they say.

My guest today has taken the road less traveled. He did not take time off to get some life experience. What he did, he went from college to starting his own company.

Erik Nachbahr is the President and Founder of Helion Automotive Technologies & Helion Trucking Technologies. After graduating from Loyola University in Maryland, Erik shortly thereafter started Helion, an end to end solution to handle any and all demands an automotive business needs in order to operate their information technology.

Helion services more than 650 automotive and heavy-duty trucking dealerships, and 28K end users. The company handles an average of 300 help desk calls everyday and resolves more than 6K IT issues per month.

Erik was a finalist for Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year 2017 Award which recognizes entrepreneurs who are excelling in areas of innovation, financial performance, and personal commitment to their business and community.

To that end, he also is a Board of Director for the Family Tree, an organization in Maryland which supports the prevention of child abuse, and helps build strong families to improve society.
