Christi Warthan

Managing Partner

Christi Dangerfield Warthan is a hometown girl, born and raised here. She graduated from Hanahan High, then went on to receive a BMA in Management from Charleston Southern University and a MS in Organizational Leadership from Columbia Southern University.

Christi's passion is helping the youth of our area. This intense need to teach drivers training came from nearly losing her own child in a horrific accident when they were just 16. She knew she could provide a service that would help prevent other families from ever having that same painful experience. She spends her days pouring into her staff and students a great devotion and joy for the path she has chosen!

Don Mulkerin

Driving Instructor

A 30 year career in law enforcement afforded Don a vast array of experiences in the state of Maryland. An expertise, particularly relevant to convey to students, is training and experience as a fatal accident reconstructionist. The final assignment as chief investigator in the homicide and violent crimes unit capped a rewarding and humbling professional life in public service. One of the most rewarding accomplishments during the time spent in that profession was the creation, in 1997, of an innovative diversion program in the juvenile criminal justice system called the "Youthful Offender Program (YOP)." That program, facilitated through the Office of the State's Attorney, remains in existence to this day, having served tens of thousands of at-risk youth, while garnering local, state and national recognition.

During the development of YOP, Don's graduate studies in counseling fostered a deep appreciation for effectively working with youth and teaching valuable life skills to individuals of various ages and backgrounds. Hence, a true post-career connection was found as a driving instructor with Ms. Warthan's driving school. THis position provides the opportunity to continue in purposeful work, teaching a vital life skill. Students have described Don as "calm, patient and knowledgeable" - along with a sense of humor which serves to diffuse anxiety throughout the process of learning to safely operate a motor vehicle. Meeting many of the wonderful people who reside in the beautiful coastal Carolina community is an additional blessing.
