Golden Fuel Systems Founder and president, Charles Anderson was born and raised in Alaska.  His early experiences in the Last Frontier helped to give him the background to start One of the first SVO companies in the world.

Before Starting Golden Fuel Systems Charles, was a Land Surveyor, and a Log home builder.  Also fluent in Japanese, he spent several years as a Japanese speaking tour guide, and worked in the medical industry as an interpreter.

Married with 4 children, Charles and his wife, Dawnette, enjoy spending time with their family and home schooling their children. He also enjoys sailing, and flying his paraplane.

One of his proudest moments,  "We were on a trip with the kids where we had to rent a car.  I had not realized how much the veggie oil business had affected my kids.  When we pulled up to the gas station to put gasoline in the rental car,  (no one rents a diesel)  My kids looked around and asked, 'Dad, What are we doing here?'.   They are so used to gathering our fuel from restaurants, they didn't know what a filling station was.  It was a great moment.  Teach them while they are young."

She was drawn to Golden Fuel Systems by the appeal of running bio fuels as it utilizes our current fueling infrastructure, our existing vehicles and is accessible to those that desire to put the effort in. Alex studied Environmental Design at Bennington College in Vermont and has operated since July 22, 2005 at Golden Fuel Systems as Manager of Customer Service, Technical Support and Product Development. She loves the enthusiasm of new veggie-burners and is dedicated to assisting all customers in their endeavor to be free from a foreign pump.
