Meet the Team

The Boss: Robert Charteris
Worked for Rapid and liked it so much he bought the company! With an extensive history of custom car audio design and installation, no project is too large!

Sales Manager: Mark Christensen
In the scene since 1983 has been selling car electronics longer than some of our installers have been on the planet!  Mark is also a huge Subaru fan and probably knows more about the WRX than he lets on.

Accounts: Barbara Hanson
It might be the guys that wear the pants around here, but Barbara tells us which ones to wear.  She is also the youngest of our female staff.

Install Team:

Alan Butt
Audio Legend. Designed the valves that went into the first Model T AM radio. Knows more about car audio electronics than any one person should, and sometimes shares it with the rest of us.

Errol Sanders
Our alarm and security specialist.  The first person we yell at when someone needs a broken, wet, or lost alarm remote fixed or replaced.  Errol is also our crash test dummy when we need to check air bags.

Pat Artus
Proving that age is no indication of professionalism, Pat performs at incredible speed with faultless accuracy. Our go-to man for any type of install.

Ben Thompson
Unable to leap tall buildings in a single bound, Ben resorts to being able to work on multiple vehicles simultaneously.  Being one of the youngest members of the installation team, his "Guess What Happened On The Weekend" stories make the rest of us feel tired.  

Sam
Even though Mandarin is his first language, Sam has worked very hard on Kiwi sarcasm and now may very well be better at it than the rest of the team.  Sam is also an expert on car security and alarms, along with any of the sound system components we install.

Matt
Custom expert and installer and gifted artist.  Also the only member of our team that can make a beard work.
