 Biographical
Information
I am 56 years old, have been married for 32 years, and have two grown
children. My wife and I have resided in Vassalboro for the last 21 years. I
graduated from Stonehill College in 1973 with a BA in English and Secondary
Education. I have recently served as the Vice Chairman and Director on the
Board of Winslow Federal Credit Union. I've also spent a number of years as
the Assistant Varsity Softball Coach at Winslow H.S.
I left a 23 year career with Central Maine Power in April of 2003. In
the summer of 2003 I attended the University of Southern Maine to pick up
courses and credits to be certified at the highest level with the State of
Maine as a driving instructor.
Mr. Ray Weed was the instructor for my courses through USM. He is also a
past President of MEDEA, the Maine Driver Education Association. Mr. Weed
is available to contact as a reference as to my character and teaching
ability.
Thoughts About Driving
Hearing about car crashes is personally upsetting since almost all auto
accidents are preventable. Far too many inexperienced drivers are getting
into serious accidents, some even dying in their first year or so of
driving. We haven't done a good enough job.
I do not look to save the world from needless grief but I do hope to
"reach" each of my students in a way that gives them lasting
reason to be more courteous on the road, to be better citizens by not
putting themselves and others at risk, and to be more patient when road
rage might otherwise take over.
We also need to realize that our busy schedules often bring us out onto
road surfaces that are less than ideal. Maine winters can certainly challenge
the very best drivers at times. Therefore we need to have the skills to
move about safely even in adverse conditions. I believe there is no better
time to acquire driving skills than when conditions are difficult.
Drivers need the skills to deal with the unexpected and to live to tell
about it.
"Road Safety in All Seasons, Skills for a Lifetime" are not
just words to me. They are the fundamental goals that guide All Seasons
Driving School.
