About ericleeclark

I'm a technologist (hybrid consultant/front-end developer), spending most of my time in the ecommerce, UI design, analytics, and database worlds. I love helping people make the most of technology in their businesses. I'm also a Google Apps consultant. Check me out at about.me/ericclark or at www.eliasinteractive.com.
