    Hello! If you need something explained, look no further! I've been a tech writer and trainer since 1998, starting out mainly with 3D modeling applications. This was how I combined my background in CAD and civil engineering with my talent for explaining how to get things done. I've self-published numerous books and other materials on SketchUp and LayOut, covering all basic through advanced topics. Several of my books focus on specific industries such as interior design, entertainment design, and 3D printing. Over the last several years, my instructional work has grown to include numerous projects involving tech writing, explainer scripts and videos, and knowledge base systems. I've developed a wide-ranging documentation portfolio, including graphic design, project management, data analysis, educational games, online store optimization, social media ad campaigns, WordPress, broadcasting, email marketing, 3D modeling apps, and more. If you need clear and concise explanation of your app, SAAS, or platform, please be in touch!
