THE 405 DRIVING SCHOOL TEAM

What sets us apart from other driving schools? Why do our students and customers say things like...

"...the staff is just absolutely amazing and very fun..."
"+5 extra stars, they are super chill and really good at teaching especially during drives."
"1000000/10 recommend this place for Hazen High School students and others."
"They are incredibly caring and all the session instructors make it fun to learn about the road and how to stay safe."

It's because we make it a point to only hire people that have a passion for teaching and impacting youth! For our staff, this isn't just a job with a flexible schedule. It's a position that allows them to pour time and energy into people during a critical milestone in their life! It's a chance for them to make the experience of getting the keys to your freedom an enjoyable and memorable one!

DRIVING INSTRUCTORS

CHRIS

(Renton)

Before joining the 405 Driving School team, Chris had a rich history of creating memorable experiences for youth over his years working with middle and high school students as a youth director for a non-profit and a mountaineering and sea kayak guide. Now, instead of helping youth climb mountains and paddle across the sea, he’s helping them learn to navigate the roadways!

KRAMER

(Renton)

Kramer joins the 405 Driving School team having been a driving instructor for over five years. When not pursuing his passion of teaching, gaming is his favorite activity for unwinding. As a Hazen High School graduate and longtime resident of Renton, Kramer takes great pleasure in working closely with members of his community teaching them safe, practical, yet fun driving skills.

MICHAEL

(Renton)

Prior to joining the 405 Driving team, Michael spent 20+ years in traffic safety education and quality assurance at the state and local levels including non-profit program management. In his non-working hours, he serves as a volunteer crisis counselor for at-risk communities.

She loves being part of the 405 team and working with families within the community to get their driver's licenses, especially those who aren't yet proficient with the English language. In her free time, Anna loves long walks exploring new places with her family.

NICOLE

Nicole is the Office Manager and multitasker extraordinaire of 405 Driving School. When she is not in the office putting out fires an being the glue that holds us all together, she loves exploring with her pups or binging on true crime series.
