Thunderstar Stages

Thunderstar Stages has been a leading provider of transportation solutions for corporations, events, and individuals since 1997. Our journey began with a simple yet ambitious idea - to offer a service that could take passengers from Petaluma and Santa Rosa to Reno, Nevada, on weekends. Founded by three individuals, a driver, a bookkeeper, and a dispatcher, who were then working for a local charter bus service, the company has come a long way under the leadership of its current owner, Anne Picchi. Anne's role in the company grew from an investor to the owner, and she has been instrumental in building the business with a focus on customer safety and satisfaction. In April 2004, Thunderstar Stages became incorporated, with Anne Picchi as the president and CEO. The original partners moved on to pursue other opportunities, and by 2007, Anne took on the responsibility of running the entire business, from the financial end to the operational details.
