The Owners
Ryan and Rachel were both born and raised in British Columbia. In 2008 they met as most people now a days meet, online. The economy was in a recession, so they decided to venture over to Calgary, Alberta. In 2011 the two were married. After spending multiple years working nights in the corporate sector and hardly seeing each other the pair decided to find something they could do together. In 2014 they started doing designated driving for a company called the Driving Alternative also known as Keys Please. While driving for Keys Please they learned how rewarding it was to provide clients a safe ride home. In 2017 they decided it was time to move back home to British Columbia. The pair worked a year together in the traffic control industry but decided they wanted to get back to designated driving. After driving for a small company for eight months they realized there was a gap in the market. With their diligence and dedication, they knew they could fill that gap if they opened a company that could provide an elevated level of customer service with their core values.
In May 2019, MyDDride was established and began operations in July of 2019.
Ryan and Rachel love being in business together.
When they are not saving lives and promoting their company you can find them on the golf course or spending time with their three Boston terriers.
The Mascot
Pooky is a 12-year-old male Boston terrier who loves everyone and wants to help save lives. He is often along for the ride in the chase car while Ryan provides clients a safe ride home. He likes to think he is the supervisor of the Vancouver designated driver teams.
