Lew White
As the "founding father" of Lew White Tours, Lew credits his passion with the motorcoach industry to his part time job as a motorcoach driver in the late sixties while a student at the University of Illinois. After graduating with his MBA Degree, he continued to drive part time while working full time in Bloomington, Illinois. During these years Lew would take vacation time from his full time job to drive cross-country motorcoach tours. Over time he realized that arranging motorcoach transportation and tours was his specialty.
In 1978, Lew left his full time employment and started Lew White Tours. Over the years his business grew, due in part to his knowledge of the clients' needs, and his flexible and positive attitude. During 1989, Lew moved the operation from his home and opened an office in Indianapolis. The business enjoyed a growth to over $2 million in 1996. At that time, Lew sold the business to a motorcoach company, where he continued to manage the tour operations. In 2001, Lew White Tours was once again under Lew's ownership. Today, he is the Sales and Marketing Manager for Lew White Tours.
Lew and his wife Cathi live on the west side of Indianapolis. In their free time, they enjoy working in their yard, attending concerts and shows, and traveling.
