Mike
Our larger-than-life commercial driving maestro, with a hearty Newfoundland spirit and West Coast wizardry. Beyond the roads of British Columbia, Mike is a loving father and partner, crafting his learning environment as warm and inviting as his East Coast hospitality. Mike is more than a driving instructor; he's a comedic wizard with an arsenal of jokes that can turn even the most daunting traffic into a laughter-filled adventure. His knack for navigating heavy loads and getting you out of tight spots on the road has earned him the legendary title of "Mr. Truck."

Shelley
The driving sage who ventured from the peaks of Jasper, Alberta, to become the heart of our driving community, including her role as a school bus driver in Pemberton. As a partner and a nurturing mother, Shelley has a remarkable gift for turning driving lessons into a supportive haven, where every student flourishes.
Beyond the steering wheel, Shelley's camping escapades with her family, friends, and furry companion vividly showcase her unwavering love for the great outdoors. But she's not just an expert behind the wheel; she's a dedicated volunteer at Signal Elementary, demonstrating her deep commitment to the community that extends far beyond the roads of Pemberton. Her warmth and kindness leave an indelible mark, not only locally but also in the hearts of those she regularly visits back in Alberta and on the east coast in New Brunswick.
