Meet Charlie!
Regional Sales Manager, Region 1

Charlie Bostyan’s Gooseneck journey began in May 2006, right after college, when he joined the Bowman store in AMS/Sales. Over the years, he built his career in sales, later stepping into the role of General Manager in Bowman for 8 years. Most recently, he served as Precision Upgrade Manager, helping locations work with customers to adapt the latest technology to their current equipment. Today, as Regional Sales Manager for Region 1, he oversees the Beach, Bowman, Elgin, Lemmon, Dickinson, Williston, and Stanley locations—supporting teams, driving sales, and ensuring customers across the region receive the best possible experience.


For him, Genuine Passion means knowing that each day is an opportunity to improve customer operations and to be part of teams that create real impact. He sees Genuine Gratitude shine through in both coworkers and customers—whether it’s teammates jumping in to lend a hand or customers showing appreciation when they’ve received an exceptional experience.


One of the things he’s most proud of is seeing the ongoing growth and improvements at Gooseneck locations. “It’s rewarding to be part of projects that enhance the work environment for employees and increase our ability to serve customers,” he says, reflecting on the positive impact these efforts bring.


What he enjoys most about working with Gooseneck customers is their diversity—the variety of crops, farming practices, and approaches to agriculture across the region. “Being able to work with the people who are producing the food for our world is an awesome thing to be a part of,” he shares.


When asked what he would do professionally if he weren’t in the agriculture industry, he said, “After college I didn’t realize how important being connected to agriculture was to me. Now, 20 years later, I couldn’t imagine working in a different industry.” Outside of work, he’s a proud dad to 7-year-old twin boys.
