Our Drivers
Ben
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.
Jimmy
A lifelong resident of the North Shore, Jimmy has always appreciated the charm and character of the region. Born in Everett, raised in Wakefield, and raising his family in Groveland, he has deep roots in the community. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Joanie, their children, Meghan and Kevin, and their four grandchildren—Ben and Sam in Stoneham, and Lydia and Edie in Lafayette, Louisiana.
An avid outdoorsman, Jimmy loves saltwater fishing and exploring the natural beauty of the North Shore. Known for his strong Boston accent, even among fellow New Englanders, he embraces the uniqueness it adds to his personality.
Since joining Port City Limo, Jimmy has been surprised by how much he enjoys driving. He finds the clean, beautiful vehicles a pleasure to operate and appreciates the positive energy of customers celebrating special occasions or embarking on vacations.
John
John grew up in Southeastern Connecticut, attended college in Vermont, and has lived in Newburyport for 20 years. He has a 16-year-old son, a wife, and two rescue dogs.
Currently, John works with adolescents with disabilities. His professional background includes over 15 years in social work and criminal justice, along with volunteering to train dogs for the Guiding Eyes for the Blind nonprofit.
In his free time, John enjoys coaching his son's sports teams, taking road trips to sporting events and stadiums, gardening, and cooking for friends and family.
Ken
Outside of work, Ken enjoys relaxing with a good book, tackling crossword puzzles, and spending time at Crane's Beach. As the driver of the reliable and spacious Suburban, Ken ensures every ride is smooth and comfortable. When not on the road, he stays busy with never-ending home maintenance, growing vegetables, and cultivating horseradish plants. A skilled gardener and home cook, Ken loves canning tomatoes, horseradish, and more for a taste of summer all year round. Ken has also had his artwork published in a national photography magazine, showcasing his talent and creativity beyond his professional and personal pursuits.
Jason
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.
