Beep Beep’s extraordinary team
Driving Instructors:
Dylan Drumm
Dylan Drumm is a devoted husband, married since August 2024, and a proud father of four incredible boys who keep him grounded and constantly remind him of what truly matters. Family is the centre of his world and the driving force behind his commitment to growth, learning, and becoming a better man every day.
Over the years, Dylan has worked in many different fields, but one theme has always connected his experiences: people. Much of his early career was spent in customer service, where he discovered his passion for connecting, communicating, and helping others leave in a better place than when they arrived. That natural talent eventually led him to a career he never knew he was missing—driving instruction.
Since October 2023, Dylan has been a driving instructor, a role he has fully embraced. He loves the unique opportunity to directly shape the next generation of drivers by helping nervous beginners gain confidence and learn how to safely navigate real roads and real challenges. Watching a student transform from uncertain to capable is deeply rewarding for him, and he takes genuine pride in contributing to safer roadways every single day.
But Dylan’s story extends far beyond the driver’s seat.
He is also on a major health and fitness journey. Having struggled with food addiction and weight issues his entire life, Dylan has chosen to confront these challenges openly rather than hide them. He even founded a support group for others facing similar battles. His mission isn’t just to transform his own life, but to create a supportive community where people can feel seen, understood, and empowered to change. For Dylan, fitness is not about appearance—it’s about fighting a lifelong battle and helping others win theirs as well.
Whether he’s teaching someone to confidently operate a vehicle or supporting someone in gaining control over their habits, Dylan’s purpose remains the same: to guide, uplift, and show people what they’re truly capable of.
He is living a life built on second chances, self-improvement, and service to others—and he’s only getting started.

STUDENT FOCUSED LESSONS
We are dedicated to delivering the best possible student experience! We specialize in anxious drivers!
Here at Beep Beep your child will learn how to safely navigate on all roadways, not simply learn a test route. It is against MTO regulations to train on or show students road test routes. All of our students graduate from Beep Beep after passing a rigorous in-car exam including a multitude of questions to be answered while driving and performing essential skills. We train our students for life on the road, not to pass a 15-minute road test! When students complete the BDE course with Beep Beep they have the knowledge and skills to pass any test in any province.
We provide homework after each in-car lesson for study, practice, and memorization
Our in-car curriculum was developed using the years of education teaching on tractor trailers, and in the fire service. Our curriculum meets and exceeds MTO regulations and upon meeting with students is tailored to their individual needs.
