Capt. Steve Peterson
- Owner, operator
- I grew up in a marina environment. From 1958 to 1976, my father owned SpeedLiner Marina Corporation in Saint Joseph, Missouri, which produced a variety of pleasure, fishing and racing craft boats. Working for my father those many years, I acquired job skills such as molds, gel-coating, laying fiberglass, sanding and rigging inboards and outboards, test-driving and performing, L.O.A. flotation rates, repairing, rescue and reclaims. I also am experienced in boat sales selling more than 6,000 boats. In 1976 my family sold Speed Liner and opened two marinas on the river- which they operated until 1982. I managed both locations and operations such as storage, lift operations, boat sales, operating the ships store, repair and maintenance of boats. I am also a certified dive instructor and have used this expertise for marine salvage.


Randy Longenbach - Owner, operator - Randy Longenbach:
     Randy Longenbach has a BA in business and economics. After college, he worked in the corporate world for two years- 1972 and 1973- and found out that this type of business environment did not interest him. A golf friend of Randy's, who was the owner of a service company, showed Randy his business, and that's all it took.  Randy left the corporate world and, on a shoestring budget, started his own service business (Carpet and Upholstery cleaning) in Hollywood, Florida. He began by working out of his apartment with no customer leads and rented cleaning machines.  He sold accounts by day and cleaned at night. After one month, he hired his first employee- which gave Randy more time to generate new accounts.  Over the next 12 years, Randy's business grew to10 employees, 7 trucks and 1.2 million in annual sales per year. Randy got married and wanted to start a family but decided the South Florida area of Miami and Fort Lauderdale was changing.   Randy sold his business and moved to Atlanta, Georgia in 1986. In Atlanta, he founded Classic Commercial Services-a commercial service company. With experience under his belt and a proven marketing plan, the business quickly grew to include additional staff and services, large contract and commercial accounts, and an expanding geographical service area.  That was 15 years ago.
     His corporate offices are in Alpharetta, Georgia, but he services accounts from Miami to Chicago. He took the company from a one-man operation to a 20-employee corporation with 10 vehicles in his own building on his own land. Classic's customers include all The Hyatt Regency's in the southeast, Marriott Hotels, Hilton Hotels, hospitals, country clubs, office buildings, restaurant chains movie theaters and more.
     The company's services include: Ultrasonic Blind Cleaning Division, Carpet, Upholstery and Drapery Cleaning Division, Water and Fire emergency service Division, and Fabric Protection division. Good business planning, experience, drive and just loving what you do in life have lead Randy down his chosen path.

As for marina experience, Randy has owned and operated boats for 40 years and loves the marina environment.  This is where Randy and Steve met and became friends.  Each have boats on Lake Lanier- north of Atlanta.
