Bob Loveless, Owner/Instructor

My goal at ODA is to create responsible drivers. Obtaining a Driver’s License is a big step toward independence and should be approached with understanding and consideration. I will do everything possible to ensure my students become knowledgeable and safe drivers.

I look forward to having you in class and helping you gain excellent life-long driving skills. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call me at (318) 396-4604.
