    I love to drive! I have been teaching defensive driving since 2016. I have been a car guy since I was a little kid. I build and restore cars and motorcycles in my spare time. I was born in Phoenix. I love to spend time with my family, explore Arizona, music, art, Mexican food, growing vegetables, the outdoors, and learn new things.

    Allan

    As a devoted father to two teenage daughters, I approach teaching your children with the same dedication and care that I've given my own. I staunchly advocate for defensive driving instruction, ensuring that each student receives guidance akin to that of my own girls. When taking a break from work, I enjoy going on road trips, exploring up north while camping and hiking, and unwinding with a fishing rod in hand on my days off.

    Ryan

    Since 2018, I have dedicated myself to being an accomplished driving instructor, hailing from the charming town of Naperville, Illinois. My passion for nurturing safe and responsible drivers stems from my own experience as a parent to two wonderful teenagers, aged 16 and 17. When not working, I relish the moments I share with them. I deeply empathize with your desire to ensure your children's safety on the road and promise to impart the same level of care and expertise in training your child, as I have with my own.
