Raised in a family environment that centered on truck driving and truck driver training, I have worked around large commercial vehicles and studied the intricacies of commercial vehicle transportation among the best in the industry. I received my certification as a commercial vehicle operator in 2005. I hold a CDL with endorsements for hazardous materials, tankers, double trailers, triple trailers, passenger buses, and school buses. I am certified for forklift operation and the operation of longer combination vehicles (LCVs).
For eight years I served in the US Army National Guard as a chemical specialist where I was called upon to teach truck and heavy vehicle operation and driver safety. I am currently an active truck driver for various companies and associate of Lew Grill Specialized Services. I have formal truck driver training and education from Sage Technical Services, MTS Freight, and the Smith System Driver Improvement Institute.
My family experience and lifestyle has always centered on the instruction and operation of heavy equipment and tractor-trailers. I currently serve as an understudy to Lew Grill as a trucking consultant and manage the trucks for Atlantic Pacific Resource Group. I have also assisted in over a dozen special studies and trucking projects covering safety procedures, Time and motion studies including visibility from CMV drivers’ point-of-view, starting/stopping, turning, and various other aspects of safe and efficient trucking operation. I have worked in various capacities at Sage, including classroom instructor, off-road driving range instructor, and on-road skills instructor.
I have over 10 years of combined experience as a truck driver, forklift operator, heavy equipment operator, truck-driving instructor, dock supervisor, truck-driving consultant, and accident investigator. I am a current member of the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, Young Member’s Council, and Young Professionals in Transportation. I have participated in educational training at the American Trucking Associations Technology and Maintenance Council. I am currently working on a project for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration relating to the testing protocol for Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) as required under the proposed rulemaking.
