Meet the Drive America Staff

Gary MillerI'm a troll from the thumb area of the lower peninsula. After living in the U.P. for 35 years (8 years of college and 26 years of teaching Industrial Arts), I consider the Keweenaw my home. I hope that qualifies me to be an honorary Yooper. I enjoy teaching Driver's Ed and I want to continue doing so into my retired years.

Richard WickstromHi! My name is Richard Wickstrom. I recently retired after 29 years with the Michigan Department of Corrections. Drivers Education is something rewarding for me to focus on and allows me to give back to the community. I am excited about helping young drivers reduce their risk and become safer drivers.

Sarah SohldenHi, my name is Sarah Sohlden and am a graduate of MTU with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I have over 20 years of experience with Computer Aided Drafting. In 2022 I became certified as a Driver's Ed Instructor. After teaching my first couple of classes, I realized just how passionate I am at helping students and pursued the position of Academic Advisor in the Mechanical Engineering department at Michigan Tech University. My husband Jesse and I have been married for 20 years and together we have 2 daughters, Kamryn and Kylee. We live in Chassell and enjoy anything that involves being outdoors, especially hunting and fishing!!
