Charles Sandoz - Owner, GM, Service Manager, Master Technician, Janitor and any other title that needs to be filled.
I have been in the motorcycle industry for about 17 years. I started working as a motorcycle technician during summers to pay for college. After graduating from Boston University with a B.S. in Cellular Exercise Physiology, I opened Seacoast Sport Cycle with Jim Smith on April 1, 1998. I have been racing for the same amount of time and past race bikes include a Suzuki GS500E, a Laverda 668, an Aprilia RSVR, an RSV Factory R and a Ducati 1098. I have won a couple of club championships with LRRS/CCS and have also raced with AHRMA and AMA. Before motorcycles I was a Nordic ski jumper on the regional development team and at the international collegiate level.

James Smith - Owner, Sales Manager, F&I Manager and any other title that needs to be filled.
My current bike? An Aprilia RS250 race bike and whatever else I want to borrow for the street… where is that Diavel?! I like to describe myself as in my thirties, single, full head of hair, wealthy, athletic, and on the look out for hot women.
(Editors note: If you know Jim, you know only ONE of the above mentioned qualities applies to him……)

Jason Hillsgrove - Service Advisor & Counter Manager
I started working in the motorcycle industry at 20 years old with the "dream" job of selling motorcycles! Over the next 13 years I've been able to work in just about all facets of the business - sales, parts, and service. I started here in July of 2010. Racing is my number one passion! I began racing street bikes in 2001 and then motorcross in 2003. In 2006 I achieved one of my many racing goals by earning my Expert number plate in the road racing series at Loudon. Racing has opened me up to an other passion - wrenching on my bike

Adam Kells - Retail Experience Manager
(editor's note - he came up with this title - not really sure what it means...)
...Upwards of 30 years ago my first motorcycle ride was on the gas tank of my Uncle'sTriumph Bonneville through downtown Portsmouth...Probably without proper riding gear, lack of a back protector, no perforated leathers with knee pucks, or a custom fitted race replica helmet. Never-the-less, I was hooked on bikes, especially European ones.
Fast forward to Y2K and I find my self working in a Euro-bike shop living the dream...and its been like that ever since. I've worked in a few dealerships here in the 603 over the last decade or so and I've learned so much, met so many people, heard some crazy stories and seen so many bikes it boggles my mind sometimes.
My line between dealership life and personal life is a bit blurry as mostly all that I do is moto-related, weather it be a Sunday ride with friends, a late night garage wrenching session or racing in the LRRS on “The Gixxer”. So, throw in a few distorted chords on one of my guitars, a perfect hazelnut latte and the occasional snowboard trip and thats what I got.

Jason Kitchen - Motorcycle Transport Specialist
I started my riding on a 3-wheeler when I was two years old and ever since powersports have been a passion of mine. It doesn't matter if it has two, three or four wheels - I’ll ride it! My first motorcycle was a Yamaha R6 that I owned for a couple years, then I moved on to a Ducati 748 Ducati that I loved and owned for another 2 years. Right now I own a 2010 Aprilia RSV4 and its the best bike I've owned. I try to get in a track day or two every season and have ridden Mid-Ohio School and at NHMS here in Loudon.

Pat Lawas - Apparel Manager
I’ve always had an interest in motorcycles and finally made the switch from passenger to rider in 1997. I did my first track day the following year and before I knew it I was hooked. I briefly gave dirt bikes a try but sadly my off-road skills left a lot to be desired. Prior to joining Seacoast Sport Cycle I worked for a semiconductor manufaturer for more years than I’d care to remember. Anxious to try something completely different; and happy to combine my two favorite things - motorcycles and shopping, I joined the Seacoast team in April of 2006. Outside of work I have an interest in my husband, Ken-obviously and I am an avid equestrian. I’ve been riding horses since I was 12 and currently training 4-year old Swedish Warmblood mare for a future in Dressage and Eventing. I also enjoy rock climbing as well as ice climbing and winter hiking.
