When Erik Wells and partners Gavin Guttersen and Wendell Troy first met, information technology was emerging faster than most could track.  Through several business ventures they forged a corporation that championed technology in our educational community and founded a solid business platform providing information technologies to underserved markets within North Carolina.

Schoollink became deeply committed to serving their new market by developing software applications that eased the burden of technology implementation for their clients.

Erik delved into the programming aspects of the business, while building the business end and recruiting key people that would continue to form the cornerstone of Schoollink.
