Cole Dolmseth

Florida DHSMV Instructor Number 121736

Florida DHSMV Examiner Number 0073

Languages Spoken: English

 

Originally, I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and have moved around the country/world until settling down in Florida back in 2000.  

 

I left the Air Force back in 1991 and since then have been a Locksmith, Help Desk Support, Adjunct Instructor and Network Engineer. Many careers, but all having to do with helping people! 

A few years ago my son turned 15, and as I worked my way through labyrinth of rules and regulations of how to get him his learner’s license, I discovered that there was no local driver's education or "Behind-the-Wheel" Instruction in our area.  While doing a bit of research, I found that the closest school was in Tampa, and the best/highest recommended school was 80 miles away.

 

To make a long story short, I decided to enter the field of driving instruction and offer this service to my community.  Rather than just becoming another driving instructor, I decided to open my own school and provide the best "On-the-Road" training that is possible to people in the Brandon/Valrico/Lithia/Riverview area; basically the entire Hillsborough section of the Alafia River Basin.

 

Over the past years, I have learned much, taught many, and strive to continue to improve service and engage my students (Not to mention, I have picked up a few really crazy videos along the way).  I have found that, yes, it can be, and is, very dangerous; but the rewards of seeing a first time driver who has never been behind the wheel going from being absolutely terrified and near tears, to a calm and confident driver is extremely rewarding.

Ed Renneckar

Florida DHSMV Instructor Number: 124829
California DMV Instructor Number: I4425017
​

Languages Spoken: English

 

I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. After graduating high school, I enlisted in the United States Air Force, after 28 years as an aircraft mechanic and then aircraft loadmaster I retired in 2011. During the last six years of my Air Force career, I was involved in driver safety as a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) certified Rider Coach teaching classes for the military. 


Upon my retirement I continued to teach motorcycle safety classes to civilians and military on the East Coast and then California where I was also a Certified Driving Instructor. So, I have been directly involved in driver safety since 2006. In July, 2022, I moved to Florida, and now live in Apollo Beach. I look forward to meeting people who are interested in improving their driving skills or just learning how to drive for the first time.

​

If you'd like to schedule with me personally, call me at 813-263-4898!

​

In the beginning, I was really nervous when I got into a car with a new driver and understood the concerns parents have, especially when they don’t have a brake on their side of the car. But I quickly learned what to expect, how to stay calm, and believe that my attitude makes the new driver feel more comfortable. The less ‘nervous’ new drivers we have on the road, the better!
