My brother's passing  was an inspiration for me to begin life in a new way that would honor him and make my life more meaningful. When my brother passed away and i was talking to people at his viewing I realized there was more to life than just surviving and paying bills. I prayed for a job that i could help people in a small way or make people smile or just have people look back at something I did that was meaningful enough to remember. A few years later I had back surgery and took that as an opportunity to change jobs. I became a school bus driver and found out how important a simple smile or good morning is to our kids but it didn't pay all the bills. Then came around a new job where I learned about driving a motorcoach while still driving school bus it has been the best experience. Things change and we adapt and overcome, it is now time to create a business of my own and hopefully make lots of new memories with new people.  My brother was always one to laugh and talk to others and he was known for wearing his hat with a coontail on the back therefore the inspiration for Coontail Adventures as the perfect name for my new adventure.
