Heels has been writing about law and technology since 1992 (when The Legal List was first released) and is starting his second decade on the Internet. His first started when he entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1984. He graduated from MIT in 1988 with a degree in electrical engineering. In the years following MIT, he spent four years as a United States Air Force officer and worked for various high-tech firms in the Route 128 region of Boston. His interest in law and technology led him to the University of Maine School of Law in Portland, Maine, from where he graduated (early) in December 1994. Before entering the Air Force, Erik spent some time working as an engineer in Finland. While in Finland, he met Pirjo, whom he married three years later. He now works for Lawyers Cooperative Publishing out of their offices at Counterpoint Publishing in Cambridge, MA, where he is an Internet Systems Architect. Erik and Pirjo and their one-year-old son, Samuel, now live in Eliot, Maine. -- |||| Erik J.
