Gary M. Nelson, BSC, PMP (Gazza) is passionate about sharing knowledge and making Project Management concepts more accessible, particularly to new and aspiring Project Managers (of all ages). Said another way, he likes to tell stories to help convey complex concepts in a way that helps the concepts 'stick'. Who says learning shouldn't be fun?
Born in Calgary, Alberta (Canada), Gary moved west to B.C. at the very early age of 2, where he spent most of his formative years - aside from a 6 year stint where he learned to appreciate living in a very small town of 800 people. He then attended high school in Surrey, B.C. and went on to graduate from Simon Fraser University (BC, Canada) in 1989 with a major in Computing science and a minor in English - an odd but useful mix (a techie who can write clearly)!
Gary was tricked into becoming a Project Manager by his first manager, and has never looked back. His international experience includes projects in New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the US and Canada, working on projects in the Telecom, Student Information Systems, Local Government and Healthcare sectors.
Having wanted to write books since high school, it took many long years of successful procrastination until he finally felt he had something useful to write about, and wrote his first book of stories in 2012...on Project Management, of all things. Next, presented with the terrifying challenge of writing for children, he enlisted his youngest sons to be the first victims (reviewers and editors) and the Project Kids series of books were born. Several years on, he is amazed to see the books being translated into multiple languages, and reaching into schools and homes around the world.
He enjoys speaking and training, has presented at numerous events and conferences and is also the author and host of Gazza's Corner Project Management Blog and Podcast.
Gary currently lives in New Zealand with his wife, three sons and two cats, and is loving every bit of it.

Aventuras de Projetos Juvenis (Edição em Português)
|
O problema do sucesso é que as pessoas esperam sempre mais de ti, pensou a Amanda. Olhou fixamente para o pedaço de papel dobrado que estava em cima da secretária, na esperança de que ele desaparecesse. Porque é que eu disse sim? interrogou-se. Devia estar maluca! Fazemos um par de projetos e agora querem que eu faça isto?
Com uma lentidão agonizante, a Amanda abriu o papel para ler mais uma vez aquelas palavras terríveis, as palavras que eram o seu compromisso. A coisa que ela tinha prometido fazer.
Sim, não há problema, Sra. Moldiva. Claro! Vai ser divertido!
Em letras grandes e gordas, no topo da folha de papel amarrotada, estavam as palavras:
Procura-se: Organizador para o Baile do Dia dos Namorados
A Amanda estremeceu. Vai ser um desastre!
