Edwin, born and raised in Rhode Island, moved to Utah when he was 20 to go to school at Utah State University, where his parents met. While in school, he spent a semester abroad, where he studied in Barcelona and visited several countries throughout Europe. His travels while in college also brought him to Central America, Asia, and Africa.

After graduating with a degree in Business Management with an emphasis in human resources, he started work for a couple of different tech companies, working in sales. He married his wife, Ellie, in the summer of 2025, and continues to live near Utah State University as she continues her studies. He enjoys traveling with his wife, playing and watching soccer, and helping others plan trips around the world.

Erik

Erik, born and raised in the Netherlands, moved to the United States when he was 24. He went to Utah State University on an exchange program from his home university, the University of Groningen, where he met his wife, Deborah, and moved back to her home state of Rhode Island.

There, he worked at a local college as a professor, administrator, and assistant provost. He raised his four children, Julissa, Edwin, Noah, and Zuleika, and has one grandson, Oscar. He enjoys traveling, spending time with his family, and serving in his local church.

History

A brief history

Edwin and Noah, along with their father, Erik, founded PointFolio in late 2025. Their love for traveling is what inspired PointFolio. As a family, Erik and his wife, Deborah, would take their four kids (Julissa, Edwin, Noah, and Zuleika) on trips all the time. They would travel up and down the East Coast of the United States and go back to visit Erik's homeland and family in the Netherlands every couple of years. They would also take their kids all around Europe every time they went. This is where Edwin and Noah developed a love for traveling.

In college, they would plan individual trips all over the world. Edwin got his first travel rewards credit card during his senior year of college. He realized there were many airline partners, hotel partners, and travel hacks he could use to make traveling more affordable (or even free!). He would brag to his siblings and parents about all the free hotels or cheap flights he could find.

Seeing how easy it was to use credit card points, and how many people wanted to find deals but didn't always know how their credit cards could work, he, Noah, and Erik decided to create PointFolio: a simple credit card point tracker that recommends and finds the deals for you!
