Summary

I have been a professional driver for my entire career. I am passionate about Defensive Driving skills and am highly skilled at putting these skills to work at all times behind the wheel. I have many, many years of experience with school buses, transit buses and highway motor coaches. I believe that my years of driving experience combined with my extensive customer service skills will be an asset to your highly respected Calgary operation.

While I am presently employed full time with the City of Calgary, I am seeking to retire from my current position and complete my working career in a role that will allow me to use my years of experience and knowledge in serving our great city.

I look forward to the opportunity of hearing from you.
