I spent 30 years building simple, powerful Microsoft Access databases that changed the way small businesses worked — and I did it without any formal programming background or training.

Through listening, adapting, and putting people first, I quietly built a consulting career that generated over $2 million, working with just a handful of loyal clients.

The truth is: there’s a secret opportunity inside just about every office. Spreadsheets, reports, and repetitive tasks are screaming for solutions — and Access, when used the right way, can unlock massive opportunities.

But most Access training gets it wrong.

It focuses too much on menus, buttons, and learning technical aspects of the program — and not nearly enough on how to truly listen to users, build useful tools, and change real lives.

I created this community to fix that.
