More about me:
I enjoy getting to teach the next generation on road safety and the importance of always paying attention while you drive. In 2024, an estimated 3,142 people were killed and 424,000 were injured in motor vehicle accidents involving distracted drivers, with 566 non-occupants also killed. This is affirming that Driver Education is needed more and more.
I am also the head varsity Golf coach. For more info on Golf, Visit the Golf Page.
I also enjoy spending time with my family, being physically active, exercising, and especially playing golf as much as possible.
