ABOUT US:
I still believe that generosity is it's own reward, that
kindness will prevail, that might does not make right, that a soft
answer turns away wrath.
I still believe that there is power in gentleness, that there is more to us than flesh and bone, that life will bring more happiness if lived for peace and not possessions.
I still believe that people of gentleness and faith can change the world.
I still believe, and nothing in this world can make me stop.

others as faithful stewards of Gods grace.
Following a personal family tragedy several years ago, I became
dedicated to the cause of promoting safe driving among teenagers. Since
that time I have addressed many school assemblies at districts in
Butler and Allegheny Counties. I have written a flier for the Regional
Highway Safety Project, which is a federally funded program contracted
through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. I have also done
volunteer work for the Teen Driver Work Group, Teen Safe-Driving
Competition, and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. I am
currently doing volunteer work at Highmark Caring Place (a
support group for families dealing with grief) and working with local
law enforcement and District Judge Wayne Seibel as the coordinator of
"Teen Save Driving Initiative" (an alternate
sentencing program for teenagers that are first-time offenders).
I have addressed hundreds of teenagers at assemblies, regarding the merits of safe driving. This was such a personally rewarding experience that, in 2003, I obtained my teaching license, and subsequently elected to retire from AT&T (after 30 years service) and become a driving instructor. I was initially hired by AAA (American Automobile Association), and when AAA stopped providing driver education I was hired by Safe Drive Technologies, and then by Kennedy School of Driving (for whom I began the driver education courses at both Butler Area and Seneca Valley school districts in 2004). In 2005 I began my own company, and named it Driving In A New America, or D.I.A.N.A. (after my daughter). Since then I have conducted dozens of classes for the two school districts. These classes have also been supplemented by classes held at the Evans City Library
Besides myself, the other instructors for D.I.A.N.A. now include my daughter Kelli Tritt, and my son-in-law, Fred Tritt. We are all state certified instructors with Act 34 and 151 clearances, and have a strong motivation to help produce safer drivers of all ages. We are personally dedicated to the cause of improving driving safety in general, and among teenagers specifically.

Judge Wayne Seibel and I first originated the “Teen Safe Driving Initiative” class for young traffic offenders in 2006. 15 years, 35 classes and 504 students later, the final class was conducted on October 2 at the Evans City Library. Judge Seibel honored me with two awards that day. One award was from the Special Court of Judges Association of Pennsylvania “For Outstanding Service and Dedication to the Community and Citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania”, and the other was a “Certificate of Appreciation” from Judge Seibel personally. I congratulate Judge Seibel on his pending retirement, and feel honored that God permitted us both to do His work and reach these young lives.
