Meet Team Columbus
Steven West – Steve came to Team Columbus in 1998 after opening and running the American Leak Detection office in Indianapolis, IN. Prior to ALD he went to college in NM and spent nine years in USAF Special Operations. The varied environments, challenging jobs, and being in the water are what appealed to him and brought him to the leak detection business. He has experience in the pool and spa business going back to 1982 when he installed his first in-ground spa with his friend and Senior Field Technician, Chuck. He is married to Lisa and they have a son who is a cadet at the US Air Force Academy.
Chuck Blanchard - Senior Field Technician was born and raised in southern California where he grew to love the outdoors. At 19 he became a Certified Executive Chef, bought and operated a restaurant at 23 spending a total of 20 years in the Restaurant/Management industry. After a job offer from his high school friend Steve West, he moved to central Ohio in April 2000 and joined Team Columbus. One week after arriving in Columbus, Chuck met is wife and they now have 3 children, 2 girls, 1 boy in the middle....(Yikes!) His hobbies include woodworking, motorcycles, and he still enjoys cooking. His creativity in the kitchen has transferred to leak detection, allowing him to think outside the box and on the fly in tough situations. Along with his PADI certification these traits have allowed him to become the Senior Field Technician at ALD Team Columbus. Chuck was honored at the 2010 Convention as American Leak Detection's Technician of the Year from over 300 territories world-wide for 2009. Congrats Chuck!!
Paul Close - Field Technician is a Columbus, Ohio native who joined Team Columbus in April 2008. Paul's experience before ALD was 10 years working in the paintball industry where he was a certified technician specializing in sales and technical support. He is interested in imported cars, vintage station wagons, movies, paintball, and dominating his 3 boys in nerf gun battles. When his daughter is old enough she will thrash them all! Paul's work ethic, resourcefulness, customer focus, and his ability to cram himself into tight areas (he is 5'2" & 130lbs) make him a true asset to our customers in the field.
Kriste Gamble - Office Manager joined Team Columbus in April 2006 and is responsible for scheduling appointments, coordinating with field technicians, and daily operations in the office. Prior to joining Team Columbus, Kriste worked for the YMCA managing childcare financial assistance for the latchkey program at the branch level. Outside of Team Columbus she manages a horse boarding facility, is a taxi service for her son's activities, lives with her husband Chris, son Trent, dogs Smoke & Zoey, and cat Kip. Her daughter Kayla, is a student athlete at the University of South Carolina on the equestrian team.
