  • WHAT DO YOU DO ON A DAILY BASIS TO BE SAFE ON THE ROAD?

    It is really important to be prepared every day and to drive defensively. You always have to be alert and keep your following distance. There’s no telling what may happen on the road, or what another driver may do, so it’s important to be alert and aware at all times.

  • HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE SELECTED AS A FINALIST FOR THE PROFESSIONAL TANK TRUCK DRIVER OF THE YEAR AWARD?

    It is incredibly humbling. It is such an awesome experience to be able to represent my company and the trucking industry at this level, and it is awesome to be surrounded by all these hard-working people who value safety as much as I do.

  • HOW DID YOU GET YOUR START IN TRUCKING?

    I was inspired to join the trucking industry by my father. He was a truck driver for Texaco for over 35 years.

  • WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE THOSE IN THE NEXT GENERATION WHO ARE CONSIDERING JOINING THE INDUSTRY?

    Stay safe. The trucking industry provides very rewarding careers, but safety is the name of the game. Be safe day-in and day-out, and you’ll do well.
