Meet Your Chief Architect X2 Certified Trainer - Dan Baumann
As a professional user and instructor of Chief Architect, my goal is to give you the information you need to succeed. With a focus 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'll work with you in as part of a group or in person.
As a provider of 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 these 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 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.

X2 Workshop Series
I really appreciate being able to go to your website and watch a recorded session to figure out how to fix something or add a detail that is something new. I have used your index, and gone directly to the topic and found an answer very quickly in most cases, and sometimes in an instant.
I want to thank Dan Baumann for making all this possible. It is so nice to be able to sit at my desk, log in, listen and learn!
Purchasing your service was the smartest thing I have ever done in regards to Chief.
Dan is a teacher and trainer of the highest caliber and makes learning the program fun. I can't thank him enough for all the knowledge he has given me which translates into great profits from working faster and more efficiently with Chief Architect.
The powerful part of your web site is that you come across as a real human being who uses Chief and knows how to get Chief to do whatever is needed in a project. This is what distinguishes you from CA support/training. CA focuses on the individual actions (what icons do what), you focus on how to get Chief to build whatever is needed for the real world project at hand and how to do it efficiently.
