Bonnie started her professional life many moons ago, as a civil engineering (structural), designing and repairing bridges. After discovering that she preferred writing about engineering software rather than inspecting highway bridges in the freezing cold, she changed paths a bit, developing manuals and tutorials for several CAD/CAM applications. In 2001 Bonnie launched 3DVinci and has developed a loyal following in the SketchUp world.

Bonnie lives in Washington, DC with her husband and five kids.
