I often get asked why we have associated our business with rock and roller, environmentalist, and great guy, Chuck Leavell. You have to understand the culture here to see the connection. I think the creative boost works. Sealevel employs and retains extremely bright and creative people in all disciplines. We work, eat, party, care for, attend games, and do lots of community service as a company.
I consider crucial computer systems to be those that are inherently reliable and must not fail. Many critical applications require computers that can operate for years without maintenance in challenging environments. Sealevel has been a leader in the design and manufacture of solid-state computing for several years. We eliminate the hard drive by utilizing flash memory devices, which were initially like the compact flash cartridges found in your digital camera, but more recently solid state drives (SSDs).
The world has lost another musical legend this week. Delta blues pianist Pinetop Perkins died of a heart attack in Austin on March 21. From the origin of our name to our spokesman, Chuck Leavell, to Sealevel engineer Frank Phelps’ son’s band, Burning Nova, music has a huge role in life at Sealevel. We owe a huge debt to the men and women who gave it their all on stage and in the studio to bring us the soundtracks to our lives. Without musical pioneers like Pinetop Perkins, our world wouldn’t be the same.
Our friend Chuck Leavell, world-renowned musician and Sealevel spokesman, has released his latest book on smart growth, Growing a Better America: Smart, Strong, Sustainable.
I started Sealevel Systems, Inc. with a commitment to being leader in the design and manufacturing of quality communication products. Sure, our products are great, but that’s just the beginning. As President and CEO, I promise that my company will stand behind the statements below and deliver innovative products and outstanding customer service.
I strongly believe in the philosophy of keeping business local. It’s something that I have always strived to do at Sealevel. Although we have 50 employees in-house, our team reaches far beyond the walls of our facility. From assembly to fabrication to distribution, we rely on outside sources – many of whom live and work in the state of South Carolina. By keeping business local, we not only improve the economies and quality of life within our communities, we also have the opportunity to engage in face-to-face meetings, control business costs and develop stronger partnerships in our own backyards.
This year Sealevel is partnering with our local FIRST robotics team as they prepare for competitions. The students come from four area high schools: D.W. Daniel High, Easley High, Liberty High, and Pickens High. As team mentors, Sealevel has provided the students with full access to our engineering and marketing departments. From solving engineering problems to developing a website and promotional materials, the students maintain control over every aspect of their robotics system and team brand. Watching the students build their robot and plan their competition strategy has been a truly unique experience for everyone involved.
With the thin margins of today’s agricultural economy, it pays to be lean in every aspect of farming. More and more farmers are applying high-tech applications and software to their traditional farming practices. The time-saving preciseness of this equipment virtually pays for itself in the short-term while the cost-control on resources extends long-term gains. With precision farming, today’s farmer can be more productive through state-of-the-art monitor and control technologies.
