Coastside Services offers a unique set of products and services, not often found within the average small
business model. Charles has built his experience in the field with a vocational background covering a unique and
diverse collection of skills that make up his profession. His early years in school and personal hobbies as a youth
in Portland Oregon developed mechanical, electrical and woodworking skills. Charles enlisted in the US Navy in
1983 and continued his education in electrical and electronics involving communications equipment, weapon
control systems and self-taught in personal computers. He introduced the first personal computer onboard the
USS Sumter LST-1181 in the mid 80's and provided training in its use for office personnel, when typewriters and
hand written paperwork was still the norm. Charles has accumulated over 24 years of experience and an extensive
knowledge base in both personal computers and the hot tub industry. His unique ability to provide practical and
diverse technical support in person and over the phone has provided his customers, both local and around the
nation, with the knowledge and expertise to make repairs themselves, assist local technicians with technical
knowledge to perform challenging repairs or just to establish a baseline for an needed service call and insure the
service call is done efficiently with the least expense possible to the customer. With Pacifica, CA as his home, he
provides much needed professional services with a personal touch to the surrounding coastal communities and the
local Bay Area.
