About Our Driving School

John Bolen was born in Rittman, Ohio, where he received his B/S in Education from Kent State University in 1988. John also played college and semi-pro football in Northeastern Ohio for the Akron Bulldogs for many years and was a team captain that won 35 games in a row over three years. John retired from Martin County Schools in 2018, where he was a PE teacher since 1988, so you can do the math for how many years. John was the past President of the Florida Professional Driving School Association and is still an active member. He was also the Executive Vice President of the Driving School Association of the Americas and is still an active member of the Board. He has also written and teaches courses used by the State of Florida to train prospective Drivers Ed Instructors who wish to become instructors for any driving school wishing to operate in our state. John taught physical education at Crystal Lake Elementary and at MCHS from 1988-2004. John then taught physical education at Port Salerno Elementary School from 2005-2018. John has also coached MCHS baseball from 1987-1994, MCHS football from 1988-1997, and from 1999 to 2004. John has many interests, including spending time with his family, playing drums, and woodworking. When asked, "Why do you enjoy teaching driver education?" John responded, "I like teaching students valuable skills that they can use the rest of their lives and seeing them become more confident in their ability to drive both physically and mentally." John Bolen is certified to teach all classes that ATCDSI offers.

Kendall is a co-owner and comes to us from the University of Central Florida, where he graduated with a degree in Psychology in 2015. Kendall was involved in Ice Hockey growing up and played at a very high level across the United States during his teenage years and beyond. He also maintained a high GPA throughout college and high school at Jacksonville Bolles. Kendall has taken over running the Stuart office and all day-to-day operations for Florida West Coast Driving School as if he had been there from day one. Yes, he is our owner's son so that it may be "naturally" in his blood. Kendall brings a fresh new vision and outlook to A Treasure Coast Driving School, and he will be the person who keeps track (bookkeeping-wise) of what, when, and how you paid. He also coordinates all the high school programs and accounts payable. He also enters all the data into the state for ticket and drug and alcohol classes. We look to Kendall for any verification of payment/attendance/ or makeup issues. He has also implemented many new ideas, projects, and strategies to keep ATCDSI at the top of the list regarding driving schools in Florida and the United States.
