Chief Architect Expert

As a professional user and instructor of Chief Architect, my goal is to give you the information you need to succeed.  I focus heavily on teaching you how to become more productive in your business and increase your profits using Chief Architect as a design, drawing, and marketing tool.

I provide outstanding classes, video tutorials, and organized handouts. My instruction is fast-paced, interesting and filled with real-life examples of how to use Chief. If you have a question, I'll make sure it gets answered.

My classes go beyond "how to push buttons". You'll learn to do things that you may have never thought possible. You'll learn how to use technology to increase profits and boost your business success. Participants come away from the classes motivated with the "how to" knowledge they need to productively use these technological tools.

With over 20 years of experience as a general contractor, I'm a uniquely qualified expert in the construction field and in the use of Chief Architect. Having drawn thousands of plans, I've provided design and drawing assistance and technical support to thousands of professionals worldwide.

My goal with the ChiefExperts.com website is to get useful information to more people. I love sharing my knowledge and insight with others and it's my sincere hope that the information will help you be more successful in your business.
