Tweet This interview has been a long time coming. I first reached out to Mark back in September, but I didn’t mark his response and it got buried. I apologized to Mark for my disorganization. He, graciously, accepted my apology. Without further ado, let’s learn about Mr. Mark Lyons. Mark grew up in Marlboro, Massachusetts as one [...]
Tweet One of the things I enjoy about SolidWorks World is seeing all the technology out there that one can use with SolidWorks, be it hardware or software.

Tweet Since I started becoming more involved in the SolidWorks community, I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting people. Just a couple of weeks ago, I got to meet another. I’d first heard of Bob Jensen when I sent out an email to our local user group trying to drum up people [...]
Tweet With my crap-tastic memory I can’t remember when I first met Matt, but I do know it was out on the internet. Matt’s been an active member of the SolidWorks community for years contributing in the various fora out there and through his blog, SolidWorks Legion.

Lou originally hails from the northwest suburbs of Chicago where he grew up playing hockey and risking life and limb doing the things we [...]
Tweet Oh, God, this is daunting. How does one go about writing about someone like Josh Mings? He writes one of the most popular CAD blogs, SolidSmack.com, he’s half of the incredible Engineer vs. Designer, and he’s a Web Marketing Manager at Luxion. He also has over 3500 followers on Twitter. If I don’t do [...]
Tweet I really don’t think that Charles Culp needs and introduction, but I don’t want him to feel that I haven’t done him justice in this post about him so, without further ado… Between his incredible amount of helpful posts on the SolidWorks’ forums, to his presentations at SolidWorks World to his website swtuts.com, Charles [...]
Tweet As all of you, my loyal readers, know, I went home to the Boston area back in August. As has become my habit, I arranged a visit to SolidWorks with the hope of interviewing some of the employees, as well as getting a glimpse of 2012. How surprised was I when Kristen informed me [...]
