About Us

In August of 2000, I had a near run-in with a teen driver who had run a red-light. She had nearly hit my car and pulled into a gas station. I had spoken with her there and had told her that she needed to be more careful. She proceeded to tell me to not bother her in words that "Would Make Sailors Blush." During this incident, I thought that there needed to be a way for parents to find out about their teen's driving and behavior. While continuing to drive home, I had seen a "How's My Driving?" sticker on the back of a truck, and Tell-My-Mom.com was born.

As an Emergency Medical Technician with a local rescue service, I had seen first hand many teen accidents and was looking for a way to help reduce these collisions. Studying the program for the trucking industry, I found that they had seen over 20% reductions in accidents and ticketing. The studies went on to say that in most instances, drivers were making proactive changes in their driving, because they did not want to be called to the boss' office to justify their actions. Teens react in much the same fashion.

Officially launching on September 1, 2000 to "ride the coat-tails" of the Wisconsin Graduated Drivers License law, Tell-My-Mom.com has grown far beyond a local program. We now service Parents and Teens throughout the United States, Canada and France.

In June of 2001, after talking with parents and observing the training that teens receive prior to getting their license, I wrote the book "Teaching Your Teen to Drive." This book offers a syllabus for parents to follow while driving with their teen. I have personally observed that the teens that drive a lot with their parents are much better at making the important decision that are needed while driving as well as much more able to correctly handle the vehicle.

Tell-My-Mom.com has become a labor of passion for me and my family. We operate Tell-My-Mom.com as a home-based business and try to give every customer personalized attention. I have spoken directly with most of our customers and firmly believe that personal attention will help us save lives. We want to work closely with our subscribers to help them through their individual areas of concern.

I look forward to working closely with you and your teen!

Sincerely,
