Born and raised in Aurora, Illinois. My first experience that got me interested and hooked into Semi trucks was, when I was a little boy, our neighbor let me inside his semi and blow the air horn, and every time we go on vacation, whenever I see a semi truck, I always do the hand motion for the air horn to be blown. Now I’m doing the same whenever I see a young kid ask for hand motion for air horn, granting their wishes. In 2000, I succeeded to obtain my CDL from school in Indianapolis, Indiana. Then in 2001, moved to Tennessee with my wife and 4 children. First company I worked for was M.S. Carrier, which was later brought by Swift Company, for couple of months till I switch jobs to Autozone in 2003 to current. This past July 2017, I have had achieved and been rewarded for 1 million safety miles driving. In my free time, I like to ride on my motorcycle.

 Grew up in Wisconsin. Have trucking blood in my grandfather, who used to own 5 trucks as well, my half cousins, and also in my dad. While growing up, I often tagged along with my dad on his truck routes for 13 years and fell in love with trucking. When my dad passed away, the tag along ended, but didn’t end my dream to become an trucker. After I turned 21 years old, I tried to pass the hearing test but was unsuccessful. Still determined to fulfill my dream, 16 yrs later and an cochlear implant, I finally achieved my dream to become a trucker, now for 5+years, and do own my truck. Am happily married with 5 lovely children.
