About

My name is Michael, and I’m the owner of Takeoff Driving School, a family-owned driving school based in Heath, Ohio, proudly serving students throughout Heath, Newark, Licking County, and the surrounding areas.

​

I’ve been a certified driving instructor for over four years and have also worked as a training manager, allowing me to bring both hands-on teaching experience and leadership into every lesson. My passion for driver’s education is deeply personal. After losing a close friend in a car accident, I became even more committed to helping students develop safe, responsible, and confident driving habits that last a lifetime.

​

My fiancée, Abby, and I are both passionate about supporting our community and helping others succeed. We are extremely family-, friend-, and community-oriented, and that mindset is reflected in the way we work with every student and family. With family members also involved in the driver education industry, Takeoff Driving School is built on a strong foundation of experience, trust, and care.

At Takeoff Driving School, we specialize in personalized driving lessons designed to meet each student’s individual needs. Whether you’re a teen driver, a new driver, or a parent looking for a supportive and reliable driving school near Heath, Ohio, we are committed to providing exceptional customer service in a calm, encouraging learning environment.

​

Our goal is simple: to help students become safe, confident, and responsible drivers, while building long-lasting relationships with the families we serve across Heath, Newark, and surrounding Central Ohio communities.
