Son of a Son of a Builder. Erling Pohls chose to start his building career not because his father was a builder, he chose construction because he was and is fascinated by trigonometry. Problem solving and attention to detail are innate in the brain of Erling. There are very few issues he hasnt dealt with before and he is always staying up to date with new building code changes and new methods and materials. Erlings grandfather, Hans C.D. Skytt, was one of the original Danish settlers in 1911 and he was the builder they brought to start the town of Solvang. Erlings father Holger Pohls worked as a carpenter for Hans until he started his own contracting business that Erling then took over once Holger retired. Many of the original structures including the Bethania Lutheran Church, and Theaterfest were built by Erling, his father, an uncle or his grandfather. At first meeting him he may seem gruff and aloof, but once you know him hell break into a funny story, usually involving some equestrian mishap on one of his trail rides with Santa Barbara Trail Riders or Frontier Boys. If you really want to get him going bring up wine tasting, photography, fast cars or traveling.
