John started working at the University of Central
Oklahoma 25 years ago as an assistant football
coach and offensive coordinator for the UCO Broncos.
During that same time, he was also responsible
for teaching health and physical education classes.
During the summers, John was an instructor at
the Oklahoma Center for Rehabilitative Driving
Services teaching people with disabilities to
drive. Since 1989, John has been the director
of this driving program - now known as the Dan
Lutz Rehabilitative Driving Program.
John earned a Business of Arts degree in education
from UCO (1973) and a Master in Education also
from UCO (1975).
John has been serving the community of people
with disabilities for most of his life. It was
through this service, that he met Dan Lutz. John
taught Dan how to drive a large van equipped with
assistive devices John was a "Dan fan" prior to
meeting Dan, as he had heard Dan on the radio
for several years in the Oklahoma City market.
Quickly, Dan became a huge "John fan" and he and
Dan became very close personal friends.
John says, "I am dedicated to the Dan Lutz Rehab
Fund and what it stands for. I know that Dan understood
the challenges faced by all individuals with disabilities
and the importance that driving plays in giving
them independence. I'm working with the Dan Lutz
Rehab Fund to fulfill the dreams that Dan had
for helping others with disabilities."
