    Mark S. Sadler head shot

    Mark S. Sadler

    Architect, consultant, author, teacher

    Hi, I’m Mark Sadler, creator of Best CAD Tips. My path has taken me through many roles—architect, web publisher, author, consultant, and teacher. Along the way, I’ve also worn some of my favorite titles: husband, father, and lifelong learner. Outside of work, I’m happiest with sawdust on my hands from woodworking, sparks flying from metalworking, or a guitar in my lap, trying valiantly to sing.

    Thanks for visiting!
