Who is Erich Schwer?

Erich Schwer is a 29-year-old acquisition analyst born and brought up in New Jersey. Erich is an outdoor type of person who loves nature. He is always hiking, fishing, or hanging out with people who also appreciate the outdoors. Though a New Jersey native, he resides in Los Angeles.



 

Erich is a dog lover, as evidenced by his Instagram profile, but he doesn’t have a dog of his own.



 

Some of this season's contestants have already gathered a large social media following. However, this doesn't seem to be the case with Erich as he has less than 2,000 followers on Instagram at the time of writing. However, once the season premieres on ABC, there’s no doubt that his follower count will increase significantly.

Erich loves traveling the world and exploring new places. While it’s true that Erich hasn’t shared details about his family, we do know that he comes from a tight family and he really cherishes those bonds. The fact that he is family-oriented will probably make him even more attractive to Gabby Windey in this season. Erich also loves photography, if his Instagram account is anything to go by.



 

Besides, Erich values education. He attended Elon University in North Carolina where he earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing with a concentration in professional sales. He also spent a year at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst before transferring to Elon.

Wine is an acquired taste and not everyone’s cup to handle. While most prefer either white or red wine, Erich loves both. This surely can be a good conversation starter to impress Gabby Windey.

‘The Bachelorette’ Season 19 premieres globally on Wednesday, July 11, 2022 at 8 pm ET on ABC.
