What sets Jeff apart is his natural storytelling ability, bringing real-world scenarios into every concept and making complex principles both understandable and memorable.
His class prepared me for the PMP exam and I passed on my first attempt. While studying, I could hear his voice in my head, repeating key points about frameworks and methodologies.
His expertise and dedication made all the difference. Thanks to his guidance, I passed the PMP with above-target scores in all categories.

Outside the classroom, Jeff volunteers with his local PMI chapters and has served on the boards of PMI San Francisco and the Folsom Street Community Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
He grew up in Houston, TX and studied Information Systems at Baylor University. He founded Gantt Academy on a simple conviction: the best way to prepare someone for the PMP is to teach them the way certified project managers actually think.
