Ellis Nicholas
Owner of Neighborly Transportation
Meet Ellis Nicholas, the friendly face behind Neighborly Transportation. Born and raised in Belize, Central America, Ellis spent his early career as a tour guide and boat captain, where he developed a deep understanding of hospitality and a natural talent for connecting with people from all backgrounds.
In 2010, Ellis met his future wife, and their life together brought him to Mill Valley—her hometown and now theirs, where they're raising their two young children. What started as a simple favor, driving friends and family to and from the airport, grew into something more. Word spread through the community, and before long, those occasional rides became Neighborly Transportation.
Today, Ellis does what he's always loved: meeting people and making their day a little easier. Whether you're a Mill Valley neighbor or just passing through, he's here to get you where you need to go with the same warmth and reliability his community has come to trust. Your journey matters, and Ellis looks forward to being part of it.
