For over 30 years, I’ve worked as a Microsoft Access consultant, building custom databases that transformed how small businesses operate.
And I did it all without a formal programming background — proof that you don’t need to be a techie to succeed with Access!
By creating tailored Access solutions, I’ve helped clients move from messy spreadsheets to streamlined databases, automating hours-long tasks and reclaiming valuable time in the process.
Now, my mission is to empower non-technical professionals to become their own Access developers — starting with just one project.
It could be as simple as turning your Excel chaos into an efficient, reliable Access database.
Since 1999, I’ve been designing Access databases — from basic tracking tools to enterprise-level integrations with SQL Server. I work with Bruce inside the A2P Community and share weekly posts on our internal Access blog. Whether you’re stuck trying to import Excel into Access or want to create an Access database from Excel, I’m here to help.
(P.S. from Bruce – Jon is an absolute Access WIZARD with broad experience in larger companies that use SQL Server databases. His blog posts will show you ways to use Access you probably never thought of!)
You don’t need to be a tech wizard to get started.
You just need the right support — and that’s exactly what you’ll find inside the A2PUSA Community.
Too many Access training programs focus on clicking menus and memorizing steps.
We take a different approach — one that’s built around people, not just tools:
This isn’t a hype-driven or shallow community. A2PUSA is built for people who are serious about learning, sharing, and helping others grow. That last part is important — because we believe the fastest way to improve your own skills is to engage with others and give back along the way.
Personally, I’ve learned more from helping others troubleshoot real-world Access challenges than from any course or manual. And you will too.
In the A2PUSA Community, we empower non-technical people to solve real problems, build practical solutions, and grow their careers using Microsoft Access.
I believe many “non-programmers” actually make better database developers than trained coders — because they listen, communicate, and understand what people really need.
You’ll find four major benefits here:
1. Instant Access to All Courses — and Searchable Topics
You can watch every Access course I’ve created — and even search by keyword to find exactly where something is taught in a video. No more guessing or skipping around!
2. A Community of Like-Minded Learners
Connect with others on the same journey. Share experiences, ask questions, and celebrate breakthroughs.
3. Weekly Live Office Hours
Every week we have an open zoom meeting for any questions or challenges, but I also check new posts daily. You can also request a Mini Course be developed for your particular situation or use the Support system.
4. Expert Help When You Need It
Need a second opinion on your database? You can hire vetted consultants to assess your project, help with tricky problems, or suggest improvements.
You don’t need to be a tech wizard to get started.
You just need the right support — and that’s exactly what you’ll find inside the A2PUSA Community.
