Elaine

After 37+ years teaching pre-school through adults and 20 years of coaching high school and college sports sprinkled in there, she decided a change of scenario was appropriate. Having a CDL to transport athletes for contests, meeting people and experiencing new challenges seemed a great fit for the Fun Bus. As a passenger, she would like to experience motor coach travel to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. Her favorite trip as a driver was transporting a group of FFA students from New Lexington High School to Springfield, MA for a parliamentary procedures competition. When not driving for the Fun Bus, Elaine enjoys golfing, landscaping, pickleball, traveling reading, watching/attending OSU football and men’s/women’s basketball. She has been a loyal Cincinnati reds fan since age five.
