About Us

Steve Morris 

• Learned to drive with a '56 Chevy—or was it a '49 Nash Rambler?
• Still pole-vaults every week and this year won the world masters track and field championships in his age group.
• Went to Cal State Los Angeles, earned BA in  Physical Education, a minor in Health
• Earned a lifetime teaching credential in Driver Education and Traffic Safety from the State  of California
• Member of the California Association of Safety Educators
  
• Served as a board member of the North American Professional Driver's Education Association
• Licensed his school with the CA DMV,
• Has taught and graduated more than 3,000 drivers in the past thirty-one years.

With two young daughters and a wife who still jogs in the evening, Steve became alarmed at the risk to pedestrians and other drivers that poorly educated drivers posed. Thus, he jump-started his driving school thirty years ago from his garage and den; soon though, he found the demand for his quality education required facilities where clients could more easily access information about his courses and take driver-education in a classroom (instead of his backyard with fold-up chairs and tables).

                                             Gary Reisenweber                  

Gary can evaluate students to predict the amount of time they will need to practice driving with him—right down to the minute—in his first session with the student. Teaching clients to drive for over fifteen years has helped him acquire that skill. His love for what he does helps, as does his affinity for driving. Moreover, he is a living road-map, Gary knows the area like the back of his hand. His one weak-card may be that he tends to loathe computer technology. This may be due to, or in spite  of the fact that he was a former computer programmer in the days before microcomputers.

                                    Jeannie Clark, MA

Jeannie's scholastic drive helps to keep her students on course so that they, too, might excel. Jeannie has made many students happy as they have learned to drive better and to grasp what it means to get behind the wheel.  Jeannie's BA in Literature and Composition helps, though her MA in clinical psychology comes in really handy with driving students of all ages.  Jeannie wants to start a phobic drivers support group, which would assist in the range of emotions involved while driving.

                                      Jim Killingsworth

Jim is the retired president of Killingsworth and Associates, Inc. of Little Rock, Arkansas. Before working in the corporate sector of the economy he was involved in advocacy for children, youth and families. He was the Executive Director of the Benton County Youth Services Bureau in Bentonville, Arkansas. He was also the founding president of the Arkansas Conference on Children and Youth, a statewide advocacy organization.  He was appointed by then Arkansas Governor Dale Bumpers as the Arkansas representative on the Federal Regional Task Force on Children, Youth and Families for the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

After moving to California upon his retirement, he ended up, quite by accident, as a driving instructor here at Steve Morris!  He now works in the administrative area of the company where one of his duties is Webmaster for this site. You can contact him directly by clicking here.
