Brent Spaulding started writing applications about 20 years ago, generally focusing on data and data analysis. He has designed systems that have a wide range of focus: gymnastics class management, product assembly analysis, equipment fault logging, and manufacturing management systems. He has used Microsoft Access since version 2.0 and looks forward to using Access well into the future. In July 2007 Brent, who is employed in the automotive industry, received the Microsoft MVP award for Access, which recognizes his talent and contribution to the Access community. He spends much of his personal time learning and helping others on websites such as utteraccess.com, where he is known as datAdrenaline.

Brent lives in southern Indiana with his wife and children.
