                “When we opened PVDS, my intent was to make a living at something I loved to do.  I love to drive, I love working with people, especially teens, and I love to help.  Why didn’t I think of this sooner? I studied many markets and knew that Amherst was the place for me.  I can’t remember exactly when I learned that the #1 killer of our teens is auto accidents, but I do remember that I felt I had to do something.  Our most precious asset-our kids-are being killed senselessly.  I couldn’t watch anymore, and had to do something to help.  I need to make a difference.”


                “The most difficult part of this whole thing was to find employees that shared my convictions.  It took a while, but I did just that.  What a team!  Experienced, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, caring --- there’s not a better place for driver education!  Ask a friend, or come by and see for yourself!”
