Describe your most memorable/colorful FUN BUS customer.
There are too many to pick just one!

What is your favorite FUN BUS destination? Why?
We have many great destinations that I enjoy, and it’s difficult to pick just one!

What has been your best/worst FUN BUS experience?
Worst—driving in a bad snowstorm, between Branson and St. Louis!
Best—probably taking a theatre and performance group from Zanesville to Slidell, LA to put on a free show for Hurricane Katrina victims. It was a “one-time” only event, and I was happy to be a part of it.

Describe your very best FUN BUS day.
Again, it’s hard to pick just one. However, one of the best days if transporting the Shamrock Club Drum and Bagpipe Band around Columbus on St. Patrick’s Day. You should see people’s reactions when a bus pulls up and a bagpipe band steps out! When they return to the clubhouse, they have a high-energy celebration like you’ve never seen!

My wife and I had our own trucking business for 35 years. We hauled grain, agricultural products and aggregate materials for the construction industry.

What do you like to do when you are not performing your duties at the FUN BUS?
My wife and I have children and grandchildren. They are involved in drag racing, showing horses and numerous other activities. We also enjoy church activities and working in our yard.

1) Passenger safety
2) Passenger comfort
3) Clean coaches
4) Good drivers
