Owner/Instructor
I began with EDI as an instructor in Rochester in 2010 shortly after it was founded. Months later I started the first EDI program outside of Rochester at PEM, and eventually transitioned into the ownership role for all MN operations. I have been a high school teacher for 22 years and have a true passion for students' safety and well being. I have seen first-hand the tragic results of driving mistakes made by new drivers, and the devastating effect it can have on families and communities. At EDI our mission is to instill a deeper understanding of all that is involved in the responsiblity of driving, and truly take each student's skills to a higher level.
I have included contact information for instructors, however this should only be used for last minute scheduling changes or issues. Instructors cannot schedule driving hours over the phone, this must be done via the student portal. For all other questions, please use our contact link above or call 507-993-2708
