Paul Beach
My name is Paul Beach. I am fairly new to the area but have visited here my entire life as both my parents and grandparents were raised in Smiths Falls.
I lived most of my life in Kitchener, Ontario where I worked at an insurance company and was laid off due to them being bought out, and that’s where my driving career began.
I obtained my AZ licence for truck driving in 2003 and then my B license for driving a bus the same year. I drove a school bus for 2 years and then moved over to driving city buses in 2005. 2 years later, I started training new bus drivers and continued that until I retired from the job in 2020.
I moved to Smiths Falls in January of 2021 and applied at First Route Driving School as an instructor, got the job received the in-class and in-car training and passed all tests required for the job. I enjoy being an instructor because I can pass down all the knowledge and experience I have had over the last 40 years of being licensed. I look forward to meeting you and putting you on the road to be a good, safe, and defensive driver.
