Before stepping into the driver’s seat, Willie worked as a plant supervisor. He grew up in Hammond, IN, and when he’s not on the road, he enjoys being outdoors and playing golf. Known for his sense of humor and appreciation for the simple things, Willie’s favorite road memories include watching sunsets across the lower southwest. His go‑to snack on the road is beef jerky. Welcome aboard, Willie!

His favorite road memory is driving along the coast of the Atlantic, taking in the peaceful scenery. When he needs a sweet treat, you’ll find him reaching for Butterfingers. Welcome, Josh!
