Hey there, I'm Erwin!

Welcome to my Date Me page.

Yes, I know this is a little unusual. That is kind of the point.

I’ve always liked being thoughtful and intentional, and this feels a lot more honest than pretending I’m good at small talk on an app.

Life is short, and I think it’s OK to be clear about who you are, what matters to you, and what kind of connection you’re hoping to build.

So here’s a real snapshot of me. If something here resonates, I’d love to hear from you.

Who I Am

Age: 42
Height: 5'6"
Faith: My Christian faith shapes how I live, how I make decisions, and how I try to love people. It is the foundation of my life. I currently attend Mariners Church North Irvine.
Work: I work in IT leadership at Induce Biologics, where we make bone regeneration products. A lot of my work is helping teams build better systems, solve messy problems, and stay calm when things get chaotic.
Education: MBA and B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UC Irvine. I was not the perfect student, but I worked hard, kept moving, and have basically been building ever since.

What I Care About

I care about depth, growth, faith, and living with intention.

I love endurance sports because they have taught me discipline, patience, humility, and how to keep going when things get hard. Triathlon is probably the clearest example of my personality because apparently one sport is not enough. I also enjoy HYROX because I like the mix of strength and speed.

Outside of work and training, a lot of my energy goes into meaningful projects. I write here on this blog, host the Muir Rock podcast, and started Muir Rock Fitness & Yoga in 2025. I like building things that help people reflect, heal, grow, or just feel a little less alone.

I also really love cute stuff, organizing stuff, meaningful conversations, and my dog Mayo, who is honestly one of the best parts of my life.

Core Values

Humility: I do not think I deserve the life I’ve been given. So much of it is God’s grace. I want to stay teachable, grounded, and around people who do not need to impress everyone.

Perseverance: Losing my wife Teri in 2023 and my dad in 2025 changed me deeply. Grief has taught me that life can be painfully hard and still worth showing up for. I value people who keep going, even when life does not go according to plan.

Patience: I am still learning this one every day. I used to think life was mostly about goals and efficiency. Now I think there is a lot of wisdom in slowing down, being present, and trusting God with timing.

What Life Looks Like Right Now

I live in Irvine and have a pretty full life between work, church, training, writing, teaching yoga sculpt, and spending time with people I care about.

I’m in a season where I still care a lot about growth, but not in a frantic way. I’m trying to live faithfully, stay healthy, keep building meaningful things, and leave room for the right relationship instead of forcing one.

I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for peace, alignment, attraction, honesty, and a connection that actually feels real.

Current Goals

Read the Bible cover to cover.
Continue building Muir Rock in a way that is meaningful and sustainable.
Publish a book from the story I have been writing through grief, growth, and faith.
Keep growing as an athlete and see what is possible over the next decade.
Build a life that feels healthy, purposeful, and open to the right person.
And yes, ideally meet you in person sometime. Dinner is great. Bonus points if Mayo approves.

What I’m Looking For

A Christian woman whose faith is real and active.
Someone cute, warm, emotionally honest, and capable of deep connection.
Someone who values communication, not game playing.
Someone who has a fun side and is open to trying things, laughing, and getting a little out of her comfort zone.
Someone kind. Someone grounded. Someone who is serious enough about relationships to build one with care.
Someone who likes dogs, because Mayo is not optional. Most of my 35K youtube followers are because of his cuteness!
Since I love transparency, location sharing is a huge plus!

A Few Fun Facts

I’ve done over 100 races across triathlon, running, and other endurance events.
I teach yoga sculpt and really enjoy helping people grow stronger in ways that go beyond fitness.
I like mountain biking, traveling, thoughtful conversations, and oddly specific projects.
I still use Facebook Messenger more than I probably should.
I have a tandem bike, which is either charming or a red flag depending on your perspective.

Final Thought

If you made it all the way down here, thanks. That already says something.
I know this page is a little different, but I think different can be good. I’m not trying to be for everyone. I’m just trying to be honest.
If this feels like your kind of person, please send me a message!
And if you think this is slightly ridiculous but still kind of refreshing, I’d probably still like hearing from you.
