Osman Moscuff is a Macro Monster - he said to call him a Macro Lobster! A man of mystery - we don't know much about other than the fact he makes outstanding CorelDRAW Macros.

Shelby Moore is a full-time husband, father, employee, student and Corelian. It all makes him a little crazy, or one little busy bee (He finds that the key is no sleep - it's really overrated).

He's been married eleven years and counting to a wonderful woman who for the most part puts up with him pretty well. He has three wonderful little boys; they keep him in line and always have a question or some interesting comment on the tip of their tongue. That latest was, “Dad why don’t we spell things like the British?”

Shelby works at a local Credit Union in the IT department, managing about a dozen servers, a zillion thin-clients and several stand alone PC’s. It's only a department of two, so his days are very full.

After high school, he had no desire to go to college right away. Fifteen years later, he found himself at college with plenty of young kids. He'll be finishing his Associates of Science in Management Information Systems (MIS) in December 2007. In Spring of 2008 he'll start online classes at Minot State University (North Dakota) to work on his Bachelors of Science, again in MIS.

Shelby began working with CorelDRAW 1.2 and has been using it ever since. Since version 7, he's taken an active role in being part of the CorelDRAW Beta Program. When CorelSCRIPT was introduced, he became very excited and started learning how to automate CorelDRAW. The technical possibilities had become fantastic! They have only gotten better with VBA, which gives you the tools to automate to your heart's content (Which his never seems to be, as there is always something new to try).

Jeff Harrison is a production artist and CorelDRAW & Photo-Paint trainer. He's a media "Jack-of-all-trades", familiar with most of the major media applications on the Windows platform. Whether it's 2D/print, 3D, audio, video, or Web related - he's working on mastering everything that comes his way.

Jeff instructs students worldwide. As a CorelWORLD Instructor, he received excellent reviews and attendance at his seminars at the 2007 conference in San Diego. Look for him at the CorelDRAW Unleashed User Conference 2008 in Pheonix, Arizona.

As a CorelDRAW & Photo-PAINT Power User for many years, he saw the convenience and advanced functionality of VBA Macros early on. The goal for this site is to be a comprehensive source for every CorelDRAW & Photo-PAINT Macro he knows about, and that's almost all of them!

GDG John Johnson (El Paso TX)

Supported by his beautiful wife Lorena of 12 years and 3 kids, John, Neil, and Jessica, John loves to use CorelDraw and write VBA macros. He has found CorelDraw to be a great tool in his daily work. He's been a CorelDraw user since version 8, and besides loving to create graphics, he loves writing programs of all types just as much.

He began writing PHP scripts for web applications and eventually found VBA to fun as well. After exploiting many of the possibilities of PHP for the web, it was time for a fresh new language. The migration from PHP to VBA was quite a challenge at the beginning as the languages are quite different in many ways. He fell in love with the possibilities and now loves to write creative macros that he hopes everyone will love to use as well.

If your wondering about the pic, yep, he's a big fan of Arnold!

Pavel Nikitov-Rekhletsky is better known in macro circles as "Dizzy". A very smart guy with a degree in Mathematics. He can also teach Economics and Information Technology. Pavel works in the Printing industry.

Brian Davies is from Australia, mate! An avid Photo-Paint user, he offers plenty of insight on the Corel CNEWS forum.

He writes: "After 13½ years in the insurance industry, I finally came to my senses and quit to commence a career in photography; I'd already been taking photographs on an amateur basis for 12 years. I'd done some weddings, portraits and model portfolio paid work. In my final 12 months of insurance, I was spending 6 hours a night retouching photographs in Corel Photo-paint and double that on weekends.

    Shortly after commencing my photography business, I was side-tracked into photo restoration. This became my full-time business and photography was placed on hold. After 4 years I was allured into another field, involving preparation of navigable documents for the insurance industry. I then stepped away from the photographic/digital field altogether on a professional basis.

Pavel has spent more than 6 years at an advertising agency. He knows almost everything about plotters & cutters.

His revolutionary eCut software for CorelDRAW was created to make plotter work easier.

Over time, it became more functional. Development still continues, and many features that it now has were requested by customers in the past.

Words that he lives by: "If the brain doesn't think, then it dries up."

We're proud to have him aboard.
