HOW IMPORTANT IS SAFETY WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD?
Safety is one of my top priorities. When it comes to road safety, I take it one mile at a time, one day at a time. Everybody’s got family out there. I have a family and I want everyone to be safe. We all have to share the roads.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE DRIVERS ON THE ROAD?
Be patient. Be considerate. And, if you have to, slow down, especially in bad weather and in big cities.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT TRUCKING?
Choosing the trucking industry as a career as one of the best decisions I made. Driving a truck is a blessing. It made a good life for my wife and kids. It’s been a rewarding career.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR INVITATION TO ATTEND THE WHITE HOUSE.
In April 2018, I was invited to attend the White House with ATA on behalf of Crete Carriers, one of the three trucking companies nationwide selected by ATA. Visiting the nation’s capital and attending a speech by the President at the White House Rose Garden was an amazing experience and I felt it was a privilege to be selected to represent his company and the industry at the White House. 35-years of trucking and who would have thought it would lead me to the White House!
