Meet charles rathbun

With 30 years of experience as a school Foodservice Director, I am excited to bring my firsthand knowledge and passion for K–12 foodservice to my new role as a K–12 Specialist. Having spent my career working directly with school districts, I understand the unique challenges and priorities that school nutrition professionals face every day.
In my new role, I look forward to supporting school districts by helping them find the right kitchen equipment and solutions to meet their operational needs. My goal is to use my experience and industry knowledge to help school nutrition teams make informed decisions and create efficient, successful foodservice operations. I’m excited about this new chapter and the opportunity to connect with school districts, build relationships, and share my experience in a new way.

I recently moved from Kansas City to Florida and excited about the new adventures ahead both professionally and personally. Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my wife and our four kids. I am thrilled to be a first time grandparent to a 19 month old active little guy. I am spontaneous by nature and love exploring and outdoors adventures, riding motorcycles or anything with wheels.
