Everyone knows that most Excel champions come from Ohio — Bill Jelen, Chris Newman, Jordan Goldmeier, et alia.
But a very close runner-up has to be Canada — a land that captures my imagination.
Canada sits only 40 miles from my house in southern Cleveland, yet a Great Lake divides us. This puddle separates us. But when I do get over there, I always have a great time.
I find Ohioans and Canadians share a lot — and apparently, Excel is one of them.
Because today is Canada Day, I’d like to recognize the deep Excel talent in that country.
Here are just a few northernly neighbors who love Excel and their blogs:
- Brad Edgar at http://www.bradedgar.com/
- Debra Dalgleish at http://contextures.com/
- Kevin Lehrbass at http://www.myspreadsheetlab.com/
- Ken Puls at http://www.excelguru.ca/blog/
Did I miss someone? Americans, leave me a note! (I know if you’re a Canadian, you’d be too polite to correct me!)
Happy Canada Day!
Hi George! I noticed a few years ago that Ohio seemed to have a lot of Excel talent! I think Szilvia Juhasz (http://www.xszil.com/) is also originally from Ohio. Is there a secret Excel training center there? Thanks for the mention and enjoy your July 4th!
Cheers,
Kevin Lehrbass
Thanks, Kevin! Yes, Szilvia is from Ohio too. I think Microsoft is pumping something into the Great Lakes at least to get Ohio and Ontario so pumped on Excel 🙂 Not sure about the West Coast Canadians!
