This is Episode 50! Wow!!!
I can’t believe that we have made it here!
So imagine that as you listen to this podcast that confetti is falling from the sky and there are horns blowing!!! Yea!!!
I have a special one for you today as I am talking with…
Jeffrey Stillwell…Founder of Accident Avoidance Workshops. Also, known as Homer… (make sure that you catch where he got that nickname…)
He is a professional driving instructor who specializes in teaching teens but also adults how to deal with the situations which are potential accident causing! He is credentialed and recognized by many organizations like… he is a AAA Approved Driving School and certified by the National Defensive Driving Institute as well as supported by Bristol and Atlanta Motor Speedways, The Weather Channel, and Volkswagen of Chattanooga.
He is an amazing instructor who connects with the kids and families.
If you were to ask his students to describe him they would use words like Fun-Funny-Inspiring-Caring and just a wonderful Nut!
He has a background in suspension construction and racing and has been the track announcer at Bristol Motor Speedway! (Check out his voice…definitely grabs your attention!)
He also is a semi-professional slot car racer…you’ll hear us talk about that toward the end of the show.
Jeffrey takes great pride in his instructional practices and that he is potentially saving lives.
You will learn so much from listening and I encourage you to seek to bring him to your community! Make sure that you see how he will team with your school as a fund raiser.
Check out the testimonials on his web site here http://www.accidentavoidanceworkshops.org/testimonials.html
As a former high school principal, I set up the training for two communities…I highly recommend him and his services to you and your children.
