Keith Rice

Keith began programming with C++ and Visual Basic 6.0 while in high school. After studying mechanical engineering in college, he worked as an application engineer at a Cincinnati-based SOLIDWORKS reseller for three years. During this time he discovered the SOLIDWORKS API and realized he could combine his passions for programming and CAD. Surprised by the lack of quality API training and services, he started CADSharp in March 2011. Since then he has traveled the world teaching SOLIDWORKS API and has presented at SOLIDWORKS World on API topics over fifteen times. He is currently based in Vancouver, WA, with his wife and four young children. He loves learning about other cultures, climbing the Pacific Northwest Cascade peaks, and drinking Soylent.
