I am a Bay Area Native.  I grew up in Benicia and have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from CSU Hayward. I have lived in various communities in the Bay Area including Benicia, Vallejo, Oakland, Hayward, San Leandro and now Castro Valley. I have more than 13 years of driving instruction experience and have a great passion for teaching new drivers.

As a business owner I strive to deliver an exceptional experience for each and every student from their first inquiry, through the entire licensing process. I have used my years of experience to create a detailed, and thorough, step-by-step curriculum.  All of our instructors teach the same fundamental curriculum, using the same verbiage to keep things consistent for our students.  I am incredibly thankful for my amazing team and the job they do.

I attended high school in San Leandro and graduated college at San Francisco State achieving my Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies, emphasis in Creative Arts.

I've lived thru out the Bay Area all my life which includes San Leandro, Oakland, Hayward, Castro Valley, Union City, San Francisco and Berkeley.

I have lived in Oakland my whole life and love the Bay.  I have been happily married for over 6 years.  I am an avid camper and love to fish.  As an Oakland native, I love the A's, Raiders, and Warriors, but I follow all the Bay Area teams.

Before becoming a driving instructor I worked as a professional driver throughout California and most of the West Coast.  Along with my Instructor's License, I also have a Class A license with multiple endorsements.  

I enjoy teaching students to drive, and have lots of great stories to share.

I hope to get to meet you soon!

I am a Bay Area native who grew up in Menlo Park CA, which is now  home to Facebook HQ!

I have two wonderful children who keep me real busy  when not at work. I am a huge family person and BIG fan of the  49ers, Warriors, and Giants!  I love trying out new places to eat or going to the movies.

I am happy to be part  of the Go-Green family and be able to help students learn how to drive,  be safe, and feel confident behind the wheel of a car!

We will make our  time behind that wheel, a fun, and enjoyable learning experience. Look  forward to meeting you and having you be a part of our Go-Green family!

Growing up I have always had a passion for classic cars.  If interested, I drive manual/stick shift and have my motorcycle license if you want any tips on those things as well.

Like many of our students, I was eager to get my permit and license as soon as I was eligible.  And because of my age, I too, was required to enroll in instructed driving lessons.  Unfortunately, I felt let down by the service I received (definitely not a Go-Green Driving School experience).  However, that experience is a primary reason for why I have become an instructor myself.

My goal for every student, whether they’ve dreamt or dreaded getting behind the wheel, is to help each individual improve their ability, grow their confidence, and set the foundations of a lifelong responsible, aware, & decisive driver.

Learning to drive is an amazing milestone, and it is an honor to be invited to take part in this experience with you.  Although these six hours are a required mandate for teen drivers, I hope to make our time together enjoyable, as it should be, and I hope you find the instruction and experience gained worthwhile.

I have a background working in the Tech industry, and a passion for training and coaching others. Growing up, my mother regularly demonstrated the benefits of using safe driving techniques and inspired me to take pride in being a skillful driver. With 15 years of driving experience, I teach students what's necessary to pass the DMV driving exam, as well as best driving practices for everyday life.

When I'm not teaching lessons I enjoy working on computers, exercising, reading about history, and being outdoors. I'm also I huge fan of manual transmissions!

First and foremost thank you for choosing Go-Green. I look forward to sharing my experience as a licensed driver for over, let's just say 30yrs, lol! 10 of which were driving an 18 wheeler over 47 states. I will gladly share my stories and knowledge with you, trust me I have many stories. I also love to fish, go camping, and I love my football and baseball. Gardening is also on the top of the list. Being an instructor is exciting for me because I feel I have a lot to offer and would love to share it with everyone. I have a German Shepherd, 5 chickens, 2 kittens, and a bearded dragon, yes I LOVE animals. So let us go have some fun and Have a great day!

Raising two sons with my wife of forty years has been a rewarding and challenging experience. We have lived in So. San Francisco and now Concord and in each community have enjoyed the many friends we made. Family is the base from which I have gained the strength to have several careers from finance to managing several businesses. In each position I was managing people to do well and enjoy each day. Currently I am a part time courtesy van driver for Honda where my job is safe transportation for our customers.

Having been a licensed driver for fifty years I draw on my experiences as a safe and savvy driver with good overall awareness when out on the road. I want my students to enjoy learning how to drive safely by knowing the rules of the road while avoiding accidents and hurting themselves or others.

Hi, my name is Bella and I am excited to join the Go Green Family! With 6+ years of experience, I enjoy teaching all my students with patience and care. My lessons are based on each individual students’ needs so they can gain full confidence behind the wheel.

After lessons with me, each student will drive away with a full understanding of the DMV rules and regulations of the road, how to gain control of the car, and defensive driving skills they can use for a lifetime.  

I have lived in the Bay Area most of my life and am happily married with 2 wonderful kids. In my free time, I enjoy hiking the outdoors, gardening, and spending time with family. I also enjoy coaching soccer, for which I was nominated Positive Coach of the Year.

I was born in Oakland, and have lived in the Bay Area my whole life - in Alameda, San Leandro, Fremont, Hayward, and now Castro Valley.  I’ve been driving a school bus for Castro Valley for the last 3 years, and for Fremont 2 years before that.  Prior to driving a school bus, I was a commercial bus trainer for a large East Bay corporate bus company.  My wife and I are involved in the Bay Area car culture, and both volunteer for local race car events, with the goal to keep all drivers as safe as possible.

I have a 15 1/2 year old daughter that I’ve been training to drive, and I am excited to be a part of the Go Green family - they are as dedicated to their clients as I am to my own daughter.  I look forward to helping you and yours become the best and safest driver possible.
