Mike Spens has been a part of the SOLIDWORKS community since 1997. After several years designing ski lifts in SOLIDWORKS, he spent 15 years in the VAR channel demonstrating and teaching SOLIDWORKS to thousands of users. He specializes in data management and API, but is still a modeling junkie. Mike is currently responsible for worldwide sales enablement at Dassault Systemes.
