| Management Team Charles Gayler President and Founder Founded Eastern Refinishing in 1989 with a small investment of just $10,000 and developed it into the leading bathtub and wall tile refinishing business in the country with 15 offices in 8 states. Developed new techniques and tested new products in the pursuit to produce the finest refinishing processes. Also implemented quality control standards unheard of in the refinishing industry. Prior to founding Eastern Refinishing I attended Villa Maria College in Buffalo, New York. After majoring in "ping pong" for 3 semesters I joined the air force (reserve), served my time, and as soon as I could I enrolled at THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Labor and Human Resources in 1981. I went to work for the Hearst Corporation in their management training program where I worked 82 hours a week +6 days a week. After 10 months I was given the 45th of 45 offices in the company in Charlotte, North Carolina where I raised the office to fifth in the country in 5 months and within 1 year we were the most productive office in the country with $4,300,000 in sales per month. I was offered my own dealership and spent the next few years building the company. Eventually I accepted a generous offer to sell and purse other interests. This led me back to school again to pursue another degree in psychology and to expand the human experience. A former Texan, I currently reside in northern Canada with my wife Tracey and 359 lbs. of semi-domesticated dogs We greatly enjoy the outdoors that can only be experienced on our 152 acre estate with 8 ponds, our own island and our dogs. We truly enjoy nature and live in harmony with the many species of animals that reside on our property including bear, deer, beaver..... even porcupines. We respect the environment and do our part everyday to protect it. In fact, we even produce our own electricity with a 108' tall wind turbine and 15 solar panels.
