“You never know what you can accomplish when you just try a little harder!” -Eron Lauchie’

Eron Lauchie’, Original artwork by David Paul, MD

Eron Lauchie’ — a 22-year-old in his last year at Western Michigan University — embodies the definition of Bold and Gritty. He is a man of many talents. Majoring in psychology and minoring in music, he plans to pursue a career building better communities for underrepresented individuals. In addition to maintaining a full course-load, Eron has worked as the Participating Arts Program Coordinator for the greater Kalamazoo, Michigan Boys and Girls Club. He is also a multi-talented instrumentalist who plays with the music group, Last Gasp Collective. The group frequently tours throughout the Midwest and have recorded several albums.

With an eye toward the future, he is working to close on his first investment property, building a legacy for himself and generations to come. Having recently accomplished all that he has, his words of wisdom for his younger self are to try harder. “You never know what you can accomplish when you just try a little harder!”
