Jonathan Zabel joined Pacific Coachways in 2014 as a Coach Operator/Driver. His favorite part of the job is driving everyone from school kids to international travelers, all with varying stories to tell. “I love learning where they’ve been and becoming a new part of their story,” says Jonathan.

Jonathan would like to tell potential travelers that if they have any specific requests, don’t hesitate to ask. Jonathan states, “We always try to accommodate, so don’t feel you are limited to only what is stated on our website or the experience someone else has had.”

Jonathan thinks one of Pacific Coachways’ biggest differentiators is the family atmosphere is not just limited to employees. “It expands to groups we drive and the drivers themselves. Every time someone asks if they can request me by name, I know I have made a friend,” says Jonathan. He says to ask him about his favorite song lyrics or movie quotes, and it will be an enjoyable ride.

Jonathan looks forward to see what new people and experiences will greet him every day. “Every day holds something new here at Pacific Coachways — so saying I am looking forward to our ‘typical’ days is really saying looking forward to anything not typical,” says Jonathan.

On his off-hours, Jonathan likes to pilot a plane since he recently got his license. He also enjoys singing in small ensembles, engaging in Audio Visual Specialist and Video Editor work. Additionally, he enjoys camping, hiking, and spending time with his friends and family.
