Adventure Lines, owned by my friend, gave me the opportunity to learn the bus business and the industry. We bought buses, made schedules, hired drivers, sold charters, and sold tours. I drove buses, I cleaned buses, I worked on buses, I shuttled, I negotiated salaries, I hired, I supervised, I bought parts, I took inventory and I started working on a new computer. But, I got cabin fever & still wanted to get back behind the wheel and travel.

We hired people to work in the office and I took on a whole new facet of bus driving, I started to drive out of New York for Broadway Shows. A bus full of actors and several tractor-trailers would start out in New York and worked our way across the US and Canada for 3 months at a time.  We started leasing Eagle Coaches with generators & televisions, semi entertainment buses.          

I moved to New York City - the Bronx with a friend in the summer of 1986. I continued working for Adventure Lines in season on these long trips and started working seasonal for The NYC Parks & Recreation in the summer months.
