Safety is important to me. Safety has no shortcuts. I’ve received several awards based on my strong safety record, including being named Driver of the Year at the 2016 Louisiana Motor Transport Association (LMTA) Truck Driving Championships.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT TRUCKING?
I the freedom of the highway, the ability to meet different people, and the opportunities provided by the industry. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is educating children on road safety and blind spots during Share the Road events. I enjoy taking part in Share the Road events because I know I am making a difference, especially among the younger generations.
