ERICK S. HACKING
Erick was born and raised in Orem, Utah, and served a mission in Seoul, South Korea where he learned Korean sign language. He married Kathi in 1996, hoping to be freed from his SSA and determined to take his secret to his grave. Erick discovered Voices of Hope and North Star in the Spring of 2015, and later that Fall shared his SSA with Kathi. Over the next few years he slowly let people into his circle of trust, and then opened up his circle to the world. He developed friendships from many different LGBTQ groups. He came out to his High Priest group in 2018, and then shared with his ward and stake over the next year or two. Erick works at Navistar, Inc. as the Software Asset Manager. In 2018 he formed the Navistar Pride Alliance, the LGBTQ employee resource group at Navistar. He is the current president. Erick joins in with Emmaus, Lift & Love, North Star and other groups to help build community.
