Hello from Libby in Northwest Montana!
My name is Steve Gunderson and I'm 44 years old. I am a native "Northwesterner" born in Seattle,
Washington and moved around Washington and Oregon with my folks until 1962 when we settled
down in Columbia Falls, Montana. I have lived in Libby since
1969 other than a stint as a US Army Combat Engineer and a 3 year stint driving
tanker transport in the North Dakota oil fields.
In 1982 my wife, Cherie and I moved back to Libby to help her
parents start a satellite television sales and service company. 15 years ago the
business acquired
a Radio Shack franchise and the business is still growing today. Cherie is the
Office Manager and I am the Service Manager and Lead Technician. Our oldest son
Dustin, works with us as a salesman / installer and his younger brother Jason is
attending his junior year of high school at Libby High School and his main
interests are wrestling and football.
I install and service residential TVRO and DBS satellite systems the new two-way Internet access systems in addition to installing and servicing commercial VSAT satellite systems. We have built up the commercial side of the satellite service business into a large portion of our business. We cover the Western half of Montana as well as Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington so we do a lot of long haul traveling. With 20 years of satellite and computer experience, we fit right into this newest segment of the business. You can check out some of the other facets of our multifaceted business at the Ocean Quest Inc. web site.
