What the audience is saying:

Joe Fitzgerald from Southeastern Driver Training Center is an excellent presenter and has done an amazing job educating Active Duty Military on the hazards of Distracted Driving.  It is frequently difficult to find presenters who engage the audience on a topic that people don’t like to talk about unless they are the victim or perpetrator of an unfortunate incident.  That said I have had amazing feedback from every presentation he has given.  He has been flexible with times and even has been willing to put together a virtual presentation tailored to our specific needs to ensure we are able to continue training in a time when social distancing is essential.

Jennifer Attila, M.S.

Prevention Specialist, US Marine Corps

As a former crash scene investigator, Joe Fitzgerald comes to the table with instant credibility. Our Marines were highly impressed by his compelling story and cautionary message. Joe’s unique ‘decision consequence’ demonstration with 10 junior Marines and 10 senior Marines really brought home the message of impulsive and impaired decision making.
