Ben is a retired musician with nearly sixty years of experience and a dedicated school teacher for almost forty years. Now in his third year driving for Port City, Ben finds the people he meets to be the most rewarding part of his role. His favorite vehicle in the fleet is the Suburban, a nostalgic choice as it was the first new car he owned back in 1974. To Ben, driving the Suburban is like cruising in a living room on wheels—an experience he thoroughly enjoys.

Jason moved back home to support his parents, especially his father (a disabled veteran) and help care for the family’s farm- Hardy Farm in Atkinson, NH. His days often begin with goats, chickens, ducks, and a couple of cats keeping things lively around the property.
With a background in driving a wide range of commercial vehicles, from trucks and buses to tractors and snowplows, Jason truly enjoys being behind the wheel. Whether it’s plowing snow or giving someone a comfortable ride to the airport, he takes pride in providing safe, reliable service.
What matters most to Jason is taking care of people. “When you do that,” he said “it always makes your day better.” In his downtime, you’ll often find him fishing with fellow Port City Limo driver, Captain Jimmy.
