Mary has over 20 years of experience in the travel and tourism industry. She began her career in travel as a receptionist at a travel agency. Given her life experiences, as well as previous career as an Executive Assistant at a major supermarket chain in New Jersey, it’s no surprise that she quickly earned the title of Manager at the travel agency. Through all her experiences in life, she has found what’s most important is her family. Her passion and devotion to them, as well as her employees, is displayed through her success with the company.


“Customer Service and Safety are the cornerstone of Louisiana Motor Coach, Inc. Our business runs on relationships. The care in how we treat our clients is what has helped us become an industry leader.”

Louis B. Sanders

Vice President, General Manager


Louis’ career began in something completely different than the motor coach industry. Growing up, he spent many years in the grocery business. From a cashier, to a stock clerk, to a journeyman butcher, to department manager; working for a major chain in the Northeast gave him a solid foundation on which to build his future career in the motor coach industry.


He transplanted his family from New Jersey to New Orleans in 1994 to begin working for his father’s company. After spending 16 years in the industry, in 2010, Louis, Mary, and their son, Jeffrey, decided to branch out on their own and open Louisiana Motor Coach, Inc. Since then, the company has grown from two to 29 coaches of varying sizes. Louis feels it is because of the hard work and dedication of the entire family that they are able constantly move forward together as a unified front.


“We have a saying in the charter business, ‘Our business runs on relationships.’ It’s because of our faith in God, family, and friends that we are successful.”

Jeffrey M. Celeste

Vice President, Sales & Operations


Aside from being the VP of Sales and Operations, Jeffrey is also one of the principals of the company. His career in the motor coach industry began in 2001 as a bus washer and shop helper at his grandfather’s company. As the years progressed, so did his skill set. He acquired his CDL while working in the office part-time and eventually took over dispatching, where his talent for sales and operations was discovered.


“I learned from one of the best,” he exclaims in referencing his father, Louis Sanders. “I have learned this business from the ground up. It really is impressive to listen to how he goes about selling our product and our brand.”


A devoted family man, he enjoys spending time with his family and entertaining friends. Though he is married with two children, he still finds the time to balance work and home life, despite such a demanding schedule.
