Greg Vanderford’s courses are designed based on his many years as a teacher and student of education and business. He hold a master’s degree in business education and have been designing curricula, teaching, and doing corporate training for almost 15 years.  The business, language, and chess courses that Greg has built on Learndrive are a reflection of this experience and dedication to education. Greg’s goal is to reach as many people as possible with his courses and expertise, which is why he has chosen the internet and the Learndrive platform as my his mode of delivery.  The following is a little more about Greg’s expertise and background. Greg was born and raised in Sandpoint, Idaho. He attended the University of Idaho where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Management and Human Resources in 2004. After a few years in the work force as an account manager Greg moved to Vietnam where he lived for 9 years.  After arriving in Vietnam Greg and a small group of motivated individuals launched and ran a sports training company called Saigon Sports Academy. They coached sports such as soccer, chess, tennis, and basketball as well as ran large sporting events such as tournaments and leagues. After 5 years of building the business, Greg led the successful sale of the company to a local conglomorate (XLE Vietnam, owner of the Saigon Heat pro basketball franchise). Greg has been fluent in the Vietnamese language for many years and enjoy teaching the language to other expats and non-native speakers. In addition, Greg has spent many years training with chess grandmasters in Vietnam and hope that his courses will help aspiring business people, Vietnamese language speakers, and chess players reach their goals.
