Charles Linder*

I graduated from the University of Idaho in 2002 with a BS in Public Communication with an emphasis in Finance. I moved to Los Angeles in 2002 where I built and operated two Pita Pit restaurants. In 2005, I was involved with a group of investors who purchased the US franchising rights for the Pita Pit and then spent a decade learning, developing, training and supporting different aspects of the franchise business including operations, development, marketing, human resources and training. In 2015 I accepted a position at Kootenai Health as Manager of Guest Services. I am a Certified Patient Experience Professional and every day, I get the opportunity to serve our community. I am passionate about developing a company culture that produces exceptional experiences through highly engaged individuals and teams.

I have lived in Coeur d'Alene since 2008 and am fortunate to have an amazing wife Katie, and two beautiful boys, Henry and James. I enjoy music, skiing, boating, travelling, camping, volunteering and I especially love our community!
