My Story

I love Excel and really enjoy working in it- I know, weird, right?  But it's true.  I have fun creating spreadsheets, discovering and implementing formulas, and using Excel to solve problems.

In every professional setting I've been in, every person, team, group, etc. uses Excel at some point, or in some aspect of their job.  Also, in nearly every situation, Excel has been extremely under-utilized by that person, team, group, etc, causing so much wasted time and, ultimately, money.

I have also experienced small businesses wasting large amounts of money investing in some new system, and the subsequent training for that system, that is designed to help with some aspect of the business, that could have been done in Excel- if they only knew how to do it.  Almost anything can be done in Excel; let me show you how.

I received my undergraduate degree in Business Management from Brigham Young University and my MBA from Texas A&M University.  I have first-hand experience in small companies and large corporations across multiple industries including Oil & Gas, Construction, Manufacturing, Service, and Entertainment.
