About - School Bus B2B Copywriter

What experience can I bring to your table?

I have 30 years of experience in the yellow school bus industry – 10 years driving and 13 years as Head Bus Driver with oversight of 120 employees, including drivers, monitors and mechanics. This position was second to the Director of the School Transportation department.

My passion is and continues to be “selling safety” to school bus drivers and monitors. Not the easiest job in the business. This was accomplished through in-house and State mandated safety programs.
