Project management has been my area of work for several years. I have worked booth as an outside consultant and an internal project manager. Eventually I returned to school at Western Carolina University were I obtained my Master's in Project Management. Since then I began leading study groups for other project managers.

In addition to my formal project management training and PMP certification, I have much training and experience in information technology.

Michael began his career training as an accountant, and then moved into the IT sector where he carried out various roles including systems analysis & project management, working in all three areas of customer, manufacturer & third party supplier. Since 1999 he has been providing Project Management & Team Development workshops to various market sectors.

I came into the software field from telecommunications; worked with RT-11, RSX, different flavors of Unix, Pascal, Modula-II, C, C++, relational databases, networking. As a system architect and project leader, I led and managed numerous projects gradually migrating from architect's / lead developer's role into project management. This move was formally completed in 2005, when I got my professional certification as PMP from the Project Management Institute. I have been very fortunate in my PM career - I always had interesting projects and worked with great teams. Of course, to deliver on my duties, I had to ensure absolute support - support of my customers, of my management, of my peers and coworkers, of my reports, and of my subcontractors and vendors. To make my story short - I think that project management is about how to help others, and how to deliver what is needed with what you have, while keeping everybody happy. This is also what Project Management Office and Business Quality Assurance are concerned with - two adjacent areas I also worked in for years providing education, help, and guidance to other PMs and their teams. Looking forward to work with you and to help you in your work and studies.

I have been providing Project Management training and consultancy to clients since 1996. My Project Management training courses are reinforced by 15 years real life experience in managing construction projects. I have been involved in pretty much every type of project from a maternity ward to a mausoleum, the project I am proudest of is building a house for a client in 10 weeks flat. My Microsoft Project courses not only explain the how but also the why, giving participants powerful real life examples and how the tool can help them do their job better. I have established a good reputation over the years and have many customers who return to me whenever they need more Project Management training.

I received my Project Management Professional certification in June of 2009 after many years in a several different trades and as an IT Professional. When I sat for my Project Management Professional test in June, 2009 I was able to document 7,771 hours of combined IT project management and construction management. The construction project was a 7,000 square foot, custom home in Lakewood, Colorado. I both designed the home and drafted the blueprints in AutoCad and the project was completed on time and in budget. In parallel with this project, I managed various projects for the County Sheriffs of Colorado (CSOC)computing infrastructure hardware and Oracle systems migration from Oracle Version 8.1 to Oracle Version 10g, Standard Edition One and the complete replacement of all hardware systems. At the same time I was also the UNIX/Linux Administrator and the Federal Grants Administrator for CSOC, so I know how to teach the art of obtaining grants as well as multi-tasking and learning to shift focus from the detail oriented view to the overall picture. I have also taught Oracle 10g DBA at the University of Colorado in early 2008 so I am well qualified to instruct CAPM and PMP to Information Services Professionals.

I first became involved in project management quite accidentally! While working in a large organisation which was going through huge change I realised that these changes would only be successful if people delivered projects effectively. But, no one had received any training in this area! I ran a series of workshops and saw that this was an important area - working to help organisations deliver projects on time and to budget. I have personally trained many thousands of people to deliver projects effectively. In addition, I have spoken at conferences, coached individuals and worked with project teams. After encouragement from a couple of grateful workshop participants I wrote Deliver That Project - a practical guide to delivering projects. Alongside this my big project is to make my company Project Agency even more successful. We work with a wide range of clients providing them with project management training alongside developing in-house project management systems to ensure a uniform approach to project delivery.

Started in IT as a programmer way back in 1975 when punch cards were new! Gradually worked my way up to Project Manager and for about 15 years managed projects in diverse industries such as financial services, oil refining, electricity generation, home shopping, etc. Eventually I realised that project management was far too hard, so here I am teaching it and loving every minute. Qualifications: B.Sc. (hons) Mathematics, MBCS, CITP, CE, PRINCE2 Accredited Trainer.

I focus mainly on Project Management Training as a corporate culture change mechanism or as a tool to jump-start accelerated improvement situations.

I've had 30 years of industry experience, 20 of it as a project manager or supervisor of project managers. I've been PMP Certified since 2000.
Since 1985, as a "side job", I have been teaching adults, first in PC and internet applications, then in Project Management and PMP Certification. I've co-developed a 12-CD PMP Prep course, providing the voice for the audio tracks myself.
I have been developing and delivering PM Master's Certicate courses at a local college and for Boston University's Corporate Education Center for the past several years.
Here's a good part about this: I have fun. Here's a better part: I keep learning from teaching. Which leads to more fun...and more learning ...and more teaching...
