Bob Mahler

Bob Mahler found his passion for project management early in his career after watching a project manager help set up the cellular network in Nashville and West Virginia. That experience sparked a lifelong interest in the value that good project management brings to any environment. He’s developed and delivered training on foundational project management skills and is now focused on helping learners apply the PMBOK in practical, real-world scenarios. When he’s not creating training content for CBT Nuggets, you’ll likely find him fishing for bass and trout near his home in Tennessee.
