professional Driver Training Serving Summerville and Surrounding Communities

ABOUT

I am retired from the Pennsylvania State Police after a 25 year career. During this career I have investigated thousands of motor vehicle crashes, on every type of roadway and in all weather conditions, from minor to the most serious.

Early on, I developed an interest in learning more about why and how these crashes occur. My training consisted of course work all the way through crash reconstruction. Ultimately, drivers make mistakes for many different reasons and crashes occur. Quite often, although one driver is the primary cause, the other driver could have either avoided or lessened the severity of the crash, had they taken different actions on their journey.

I have been training drivers in Summerville for 7 years in all phases of their driving journey, from improving on a particular area of driving to complete start to finish training.

My education continues, as I try to continually improve my knowledge and skills in order to help others to become safer drivers.
