About the owner:
Garrow is a 10 year veteran police officer dedicated to traffic safety. In 1998, Garrow was honored at the Heroes Banquet by Governor Dean and the Govenor's Highway Safety Program Coordinator, Jeanni Johnson, for the DUI and traffic safety work he did in the Northeast Kingdom. Garrow has seen the devastation, including multiple fatalities, as the result of driver error. As a result, Garrow was compelled to build a driver education program that met all of Vermont's requirements, but placed a special emphasis on crash avoidance. Garrow then acquired state licensure from both the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles and the Vermont Department of Education and drew upon his experience, training, and education to construct the curriculum now used by Precision Driver Training School. His wife, Janet, is also an instructor.
