Member Spotlight: Drivers of the Future

If you have noticed an increase in student driver bumper stickers or driving school signs on vehicles, you aren’t going crazy. A surge in privately owned driver education schools has been popping up throughout the Triangle. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the public school system has a growing wait list of high school students who are old enough to take driver’s education, but there aren’t enough teachers. Savannah Gregory and her partner Fernando Castellanos noticed this problem and decided to take matters into their own hands.

Savannah and Fernando met as instructors at a different driver’s education school before deciding to move forward with their own school. Their first order of business was to get an office, and the second, get a more up to date curriculum approved to better meet the needs of their students. Students come to their class either in person or virtually, attend lectures, and complete hours behind the wheel. Drivers of the Future teaches students of all backgrounds, countries, and ages, most recently teaching a new driver who was 65 years old.

Savannah feels most passionate about helping not only the individual students but also their entire families. Being able to drive allows people to go to work, pick up their children from school, and be a part of a community.One of the most critical steps in starting a driver’s education school is getting approved by the DMV. The NC DMV requires all driver education schools to have an office, a classroom, or a conference room to teach classes and signage. Having an office has given them the flexibility to use the space for themselves, their students, and the students’ families. Savannah says, “Office Ours gave us the ability to have a personal office location and flexible options for our classroom instruction with the conference rooms.” They can easily book the different conference rooms depending on the class size. Their students have a long day when they come to Drivers of the Future, sometimes spending up to six hours in the class. It was essential to Savannah to have a clean, comfortable building and a place where they could quickly heat their food or take a break from class. Parents and family members can utilize the lobby area while waiting for their student to complete exams or classes.

Drivers of the Future is a minority and women owned company that has now been in business for ten months.They are excited to start offering automotive maintenance classes to teens and adults within the following year as well as utilize the latest in technology to improve the way drivers education is taught. With innovative new ways to teach students how to drive, the future is bright.

Serving clients and building an agency. These are the two things that Charles Calloway thinks about every day when he gets to work. Charles never considered being a financial advisor when he decided to join The United States Air Force as a young adult. While in the Air Force, he was an instructor and taught leadership and management classes in Tucson, Arizona. Asset management and finance were not at the top of his mind at this point in his life. How he got into his current career in financial advising happened by accident.

After joining the Air Force, Charles started teaching leadership classes. The instructor he replaced was leaving the Air Force to become a financial advisor, and he stopped by one day to teach Charles about his new role and how things like mutual funds and IRAs worked. This was a turning point for Charles. He realized that this was something he was interested in and, more importantly, something he could turn into a career. Charles started doing financial advising on the side while in the Air Force but eventually gave up his license due to the Air Force job becoming more demanding.

Eventually, Charles left the Air Force and started working on his financial advising career in Tucson, Arizona. After dipping his toe in the corporate world and moving to North Carolina, Charles found his way back to financial advising with Primerica. Nowadays, Charles focuses on helping families make wiser choices with their money, get out of debt, and find financial independence. Charles is also passionate about educating the next generation of financial professionals who will continue to serve clients long after he retires.

Charles has spent the last four years leasing an office at Office Ours in Garner, North Carolina. Charles was drawn to Office Ours because of the location and office space, but also everything else that came with it. A phone system, conference room access, and Wi-Fi were included, which made it a no-brainer when he decided to sign the lease. He also knew he could scale his business at Office Ours. He could add on an office or downsize if needed. Access to other Office Ours locations and conference rooms allows him to meet with clients anywhere in the Triangle, not just at his office in Garner.

Each day, as Charles swipes his card and enters his office at Office Ours, he is driven by two unwavering goals. These are the same goals that have guided him for the past thirty years in the financial industry: serving clients and building a long-lasting agency.
