Summary

I was born in 1963, at Booth Hospital, Covington, KY. My father wa a Covington Police Officer for a many of years. unfortunately, he passed on before I was 6.

I've always loved to drive. Trucks, Busses, and Taxis was my biggest thing. Why I never obtained my CDL is beyond me. MY BIGGEST PRIORITY IS SAFETY. I take this very seriously.

As a child, I had a wild imagination. Being raised by my Grandmother, I use to set the couch up and pretend I was operating a truck, bus, or, taxi. A couple friends of mine, who was employed by Tank, was actually mentors. James Taylor and Fred Kroger. I use to ride everyday with James (Jim), on his designated Rt., #1 Florence, #8 Eastern, and or (back then) the #6/#7 Rosedale, Latonia. Man I loved the busses, and told myself I am going to work for Tank one day. I remember the BARN use to be at 11th & Brighton. When living and being raised by my grandmother in Covington, I fell into the wrong crowd, and yes, got into trouble. Back then I was easily mislead and wanted to be a follower. This was 40+ years ago. I got my life back on track, got saved, which I attend service every Sunday, (if work doesn't get in the way).

I have 2 amazing Daughters, 23 & 21, with a beautiful 3 yr. old Granddaughter.

I'm currently engaged to a real nice woman. Her name is Kim. She is employed at Mercy West Hospital, Cincinnati, where I presently live. We bought a house in the Colerain Twp. area, and are now raising a Golden Doodle. His name is Ziggy and we have had him since he was 8 weeks. We bought him in North Eastern Ohio off an Amish Farm.

I am very Customer Service Oriented. I love meeting new people and dealing with the public. I am also,

Reliable employee seeking a coach operator position. Offering excellent communication and good judgment.

I am a Hardworking employee enthusiastic about learning this field inside and out. Pursues opportunities to learn new skills and contribute to group success. Offers strong administrative, relationship-building, and problem-solving abilities. As well, I am a Hardworking Driver with expertise providing excellent transportation services. Engaging and pleasant personality with safe and accident-free driving record.
