I am Erika Runhart, born and raised in the stunning Crow’s Nest Pass in southern Alberta, nestled among the majestic Rocky Mountains. Growing up in the bush instilled outdoorsy values deep into my personality, and I’ve carried that love of nature and adventure with me throughout my life.
My early years were shaped by the values of hard work, integrity, and emotional intelligence that my family instilled in me, and I treasure the deep relationship I had with my grandfather Marcel. As a woman of few words but profound impact, I’m known for my sharp mind, compassionate nature, and unwavering loyalty.
I have a wonderful “customer service” mode that I can activate whenever I need to navigate challenging situations with grace and professionalism. I’m quite outspoken and tend to speak my mind, which I’ve learned is both a strength and a gift in my relationships. I’m also a devoted mother to a wonderful son and have been married for 10 years to Matthew Runhart. Our partnership is built on mutual understanding, shared experiences, and a deep commitment to growth together.
My love of the outdoors has become a fundamental part of who I am, and I carry that adventurous spirit with me daily. I’m absolutely obsessed with Minecraft and love playing Dungeons & Dragons, which allows me to embrace my creative and strategic side. These hobbies reflect my love for building, exploring, and creating worlds where I can be both organized and imaginative.
I’m a woman of principle, unafraid to speak my truth even when it’s uncomfortable. My strength shines in how I handle stress, find balance in chaos, and commit to self-improvement through fitness, mindfulness, and maintaining intention in all that I do. I’m a stabilizing force in my family’s life, especially during turbulent times, and I’m deeply involved in my husband’s world—supporting his ventures, offering insight, and helping navigate complex situations with a calm and strategic mind.
In short, I am not just a wife—I’m a partner, a mentor, a friend, and a source of strength in a world that often feels unpredictable. My life is one of purpose, resilience, and quiet determination, shaped by the mountain values of my upbringing, the deep relationships that ground me, and the adventurous spirit that defines my outdoor and gaming passions.
