Our Team

Elegant Image Limousine Service was started in October 1998 by John Forney, who still owns and operates the company with the help of his daughter and General Manager, Heather. The company’s headquarters are in Morro Bay, where all of the Limousines are kept and maintained. Before Elegant Image, John chartered fishing boats out of Miami, San Diego, San Simeon and then Morro Bay. With the growing Wine interests in SLO County, John decided there was a demand to transport people on land, to Wineries. Today there are 14 new Limousines in Elegant Image’s Fleet, and a team of Chauffeurs that are top notch professionals.

Prior to Elegant Image, Chriss worked in the Wine Industry and we are happy to add his Wine knowledge, attitude and personality to Elegant Image. If you don’t see Chriss traveling in a Limo this Summer, you will probably see him in a Sail Boat – which is how he chooses to spend his free time.

Rodney Clapp

Rodney is a native of Wisconsin, and he is a Packer fan through and through. As a graduate of Western Culinary Institute he has a passion for fine wine and food. Though his professional interests have changed from the kitchen to inspire him to return to school to pursue a degree in Kinesiology, he holds true by forever searching for other wine and food pairing. Rodney joined the Elegant Image team in 2006, and he is known for his relaxed and professional attitude while serving people. He is married and is a father of four.
