I'm an engineer who enjoys making Excel VBA spreadsheets to do mechanical & chemical engineering calculations. I was a pretty ordinary user until getting a lucrative commission in 1995 to write a program to count snowflakes. I learned Excel VBA for that project, and liked it so much that I started coding VBA functions for almost all of my routine engineering calculations.

My day job is designing evaporators to make ultrapure water. I'm able to evangelize use of VBA for engineering problems within the firm, and am beginning to increase their productivity as a result.

I live now in the Ozarks area of Missouri, not too far from hillbilly country. I have 15-year old twins who are still cuddly and think I'm smart. But any day now, I expect to become exceedingly dim.

It's amazing how much one can learn at EE--both from trying to solve the questions and from seeing how other experts approached the problems.
