Matthew Sharp – Owner & Instructor

I grew up in Great Bend, Kansas where I received my Associates in Business degree from Barton County Community College. I then proceeded to receive my Bachelor in Business Communications from Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas. Lastly, I completed my Masters in Organizational Communications & Management from Fort Hays State University where I spent two years as a graduate teaching assistant.

I have worked most of my 19 year career in corporate America as a District Sales Manager coaching and training sales reps. Now as a teacher in Kansas City, I spend my days teaching and coaching students and athletes.

I also have several years of coaching, teaching and instructing youth athletes in baseball, soccer, and football. Having now taught 1500+ students how to drive, I bring a positive, patient coaching perspective to behind-the-wheel driver’s training.


I look forward to seeing you soon, behind-the-wheel, at Northland Driving School & Classroom Education!
