My name is Erich Sparks. I’m an autodidact, entrepreneur, volunteer, inventor, freelancer, and avid skier.

This will be my 9th year as a website designer and I'm starting it off in beautfiful Boulder, Co! I’ve worked as a web and print designer for a national media company, as a community manager and brand builder for an international non-profit, freelancer, consultant of start ups, and founder.

I’ve always been the do-it-yourself type. I like to build things other people buy in stores. I guess that’s why when I discovered you could build your own websites I was hooked. I started with one client (still my best) and quickly grew to managing the websites of national companies, international non-profits and your local mom and pop store.

Part of my responsibilities at UnCollege involved updating and maintaining the website to reduce downtime. While I was there we also went through a theme change. This involved backing up, modifying content, testing and launching.
