About our Staff
Mike McCrady - Owner & Instructor
I am a full time educator at Rocky Mountain High School where I teach Honors Sophomore US History. I have been teaching in the classroom for 21 years, and been teaching driver’s education in the Treasure Valley, both publicly & privately, since 2001. My philosophy is that student drivers need to be engaged in the driving process, during both their driving and observation time. My students encounter as many driving situations as possible during their education, and take part in meaningful dialogue about those situations. My family means the world to me and by teaching students driver education through my own school, I can guarantee that I will teach your son or daughter in a manner that will keep both my family and yours, safe on the road
Kristin Galloway - Classroom Teacher
Kristin Galloway is a full time educator at Mountain View High School where she teaches Junior American Character & Senior English. She has been teaching for 20 years and was honored as Teacher of the Year in 2004. She is an amazing story teller, and our students are privileged to experience her engaging and exciting teaching style in the Rocky Road classroom.
Jeff Knight - Driving Instructor
Jeff Knight is a full time educator at Rocky Mountain High School where he teaches Common Core Math courses. He has been teaching for 16 years and has been involved with Rocky Road Driving School for the last 9 years after spending one year in public driver's ed. The students will enjoy his laid back personality and funny anecdotes, but need to remember that none of his stories about me are true. It is a special thing to get the chance to work with your best friend on a daily basis and we have been what I would call, "lifelong friends" for the last 26 years.
Allison Tilden - Instructor & Teacher
Allison Tilden is my one and only sister, who decided to join the Rocky Road family in September of 2010. She has also been a full time educator as a secondary level substitute for the Meridian School District since 2007. Allison is a devoted wife & mother of two beautiful children, as well as the many who spend their school days with her in the classroom. She gets great joy from her role in the Driver's Ed classroom and even more so on the car with Rocky Road students. Her fun-loving personality has been a great hit with her students who say there's never a dull moment in their driver's ed experience with her. It has been a great honor to have her as a part of the family business since 2011.
Greg Wood- Instructors
The honor of having Greg on this team is mine as he is an incredible person that I have called a friend for 22 years. He is a quality example of humanity, kind, generous and with the patience of Job, which will only benefit your students to be able to interact with. He has joined the Rocky Road team because of his desire to help foster the culture of safe driving along with a relaxed and fun experience behind the wheel.
Jason Miraya - Instructor
It is an honor to have Jason as a part of the Rocky Road Team. Jason and I have been friends and colleagues for the last 17 years, working at Mountain View and raising our kids together. He has been a valued member of the MVHS Social Studies Department for 15 years and one of the most dedicated teachers I know. Jason has worked hard to support his family and enjoys the process of teaching drivers education to kids, helping them learn the best methods to becoming safe and sound drivers.
Eric Funderburg - Instructor
Eric has been a part of the Rocky Road family for 4 years now and it is a pleasure to have his outstanding personality in the car. He has been a stellar Math teacher at Mountain View since they opened in 2003 and has been a close personal friend of mine that whole time, even after I left for Rocky. Eric brings great enthusiasm and patience to his in-car instruction, along with a stellar wardrobe of unique custom shirts that his students rave about...at least so he thinks. He is a quality & key component of what makes Rocky Road special.
