Meet Our Team
Our Mission Statement
“Connecting people to what’s important through friendly, safe, reliable, luxury ground transportation. Our commitment is to service and excellence in hospitality, while providing incredible experiences”
Adam Swaby
Chief Executive Officer
Elite Charter was founded during my time studying at California State University Long Beach. At the time I was working in event promotions at Rockstar Energy, which involved organizing events for colleges in Los Angeles to Nevada and Arizona (all of which required coordinating travel). Quickly seeing the value in entertainment transportation, I started running independent events from local colleges to nightclubs in Los Angeles and Orange County. I have a genuine passion for hospitality and my expertise in logistics has made Elite Charter the largest and most successful charter bus company in California.
In 2021, following a decade within the transportation Industry, I created Elite Executive Charter. This independent business focuses on luxury group travel for the corporate and public sectors with a fleet of executive style mini-buses and motor-coaches.
During my free time I enjoy traveling, staying fit and skiing the back bowls whenever I can get away to the snow!

Hi, I am Bill and I take great pride in making sure our fleet is kept to the highest standard! I’m an expert in electronics and lighting and you can regularly find me in, or under the buses making sure our vehicles are in perfect working condition! I’m also the go-to expert on most questions from our staff members and drivers as I have a mechanical mind and the ability to figure out problems quickly and efficiently.
In my spare time I enjoy traveling and spending time with my daughter. I’m also a bit of an adrenaline junkie and my most recent adventure was skydiving over the coastline of San Diego.
