Prior to his appointment to the Chicago City Council, he was the village manager of Maywood, Illinois.[2] He also is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and graduate of Morgan Park Academy.

Aldermanic career

In 2010, Ervin was appointed by mayor Richard M. Daley to replace the retiring Ed Smith as 28th Ward alderman. Ervin was subsequently reelected in 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023.
