I have spent over 20 years teaching technology to managers both formally and informally. I love teaching or mentoring people in getting up to speed with digital transformation.
I specialize in teaching "difficult tech stuff" to "business people." Topics include analytics, data programming, product mgmt, agile project mgmt, business intelligence, Excel and other crucial analytics software.
My Background
Most recently, I have been a product management executive and digital transformation consultant to other executives. My first job was building and designing Excel formulas and VBA at Microsoft. I am a seasoned tech veteran who have since held management and executive positions in Silicon Valley, Austin and other international tech hubs.
I co-founded my first company at age 22 and have since participated in six successful exits as tech entrepreneur, investor and employee. The previous company I sold was for data analytics. I hold a masters degree in Computer Science and studied Financial Mathematics as well as a MBA.

This class is a ‘must have’ if you are studying GA. The instructor talks about features that are used everyday and the high level theory of what google is doing. He does not take the student directly into the reporting weeds and so I have not felt lost in his course. I wish he had more GA courses.
By Laura Dziomba on 3/9/2021
This course is very informative and moves at a good pace for beginners. The instructor is giving me valuable information that I've already started using in logical order that is easy to understand and follow along.
By Monica, Yit Kin Ho on 3/5/2021
Travis is well experienced in maneuvering GA and provided an easy to understand explanation on how to manage GA. Hope he will come up with GA lesson for intermediate users soon! I will join that for sure...
By Neil Florendo on 3/1/2021
What makes this course really great is because Travis clearly explained the Google Analytics Business Data Model and he also helped you in navigating the User Interface. The lessons in each section are well arranged for better learning experience. Great job!!!
By Marketing Tranning on 2/24/2021
This is a very beginner course for who really don't know GA at all. Not ( to PRO user ) as the title mention. A lot of thing not cover complete even on beginner level. Course keep repeating and to make the time longer.
By Hoan Nguyen on 2/23/2021
Thanks a lot! Highly recommended. If possible please make another one more advance about custom reports(such as custom Dimension, Metrics, Data Studio and other tools from goole marketing platform). Cheers!
By Theodora Okwarazoro on 2/1/2021
This is by far best class so far! I have been studying GA for a while but do not have an in-depth understanding. Thanks to this course that took me to another level of understanding. Excellent tutor, with an amazing way of explaining GA.
By Javier Inchausti on 1/3/2021
I would highly recommend this course to anyone with no GA knowledge or experience as Travis does a wonderful job at explaining all the concepts that you need to know when using GA. I also like how he explains the thought process to use to help you get the most out of your data in GA.
By Phuong on 1/2/2021
The course structure is really great. I'm a Product Manager who switches from app to web product and looks for a course to bootstrap my knowledge over a weekend. This is the only course you need to get productive after 1-2 days.
By Symon He on 12/17/2020
Well organized and presented, Travis has made a very approachable course for those wanting to get the right start and get into enough depth to be dangerous. His demos doesn't just show you how to get around the tools and reports but why they matter and what they mean. If you want to know what's going on with your website and how to interpret the data into actionable insights, this is a great place to start. Highly recommended!
