I was born and raised in the Twin Cities, but spent much of my time Outdoors. I have a love of Fishing and Hunting, as well as most Motorsports. I was introduced at a young age by family to snowmobiling, and became hooked to Motorcycles, ATV's, Snowmobiles. I entered the motorsports industry in 1999, and have been a part of most every department in one way or another. I came to Delano Sports Center after a short time in St Cloud and have enjoyed my time here. Working for the Donahue family, and with the staff has been a great experience and I look forward to many years with DSC.

I grew up in Delano, MN and spent 6 years active duty with the US Navy Submarine Service, then 16 years as a Naval Reservist before retiring in 2002. Along the way I attended Mankato State University and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronic Engineering Technology with a minor in Computer Science. I now live in Cokato, MN where I enjoy Woodworking, Motorcycle Street Bike Riding, Canoe Camping and a lot of other outdoor activities. I started work at Delano Sports Center in 1993 as a Parts, Shipping/Receiving and IT person. Part of the reason I like working at Delano Sports Center is that I really enjoy helping people find the right parts and accessories to increase their enjoyment of their machines. From the old timers who have been riding forever or those just getting started, every day brings some new and different experiences to the counter.

(with Schnitzle) I joined the DSC parts dept in early 2008 and bring a great deal of motorcycle knowledge and background to the mix. I have been riding for many years and just over a year ago, completed a full custom SV650 project. I spent my early years on the East coast, in the Carolina's and Philadephia. I have worked in various speed and performance shops around Minneapolis and if there is anything you need to know about your bike, most likely I can help!

I am an avid motorsports enthusiast with a background in motorsports sales and enjoy tinkering around at home as a mechanic. I am a retired mail man that needed to stay busy so I began working for St. Cloud Suzuki in sales and then came to DSC to be a little closer to home. I have been on motorcycles, ATV’s & snowmobiles since I was a child & still enjoy them now as a big kid. In my spare time my wife, Marie & I enjoy going up north to our cabin, taking the bike on road trips & spending time with our family. I like working at DSC because I enjoy the interaction with the customers and helping them out with whatever they need.

I am 36 years old and have been with DSC for 5 years. I grew up in Ham Lake, MN and spent most of my youth skate boarding & playing in bands. My love of motorcycles came from my two uncles. Since I can remember they have always had a couple of bikes a piece & they instilled in me the world of motorcycling from a young age. My current hobbies are, of course, motorcycling, fishing, professional RC racing, and I think if we can get some more snow around here I’d be a hooked snowmobiler. With my previous career as a printing equipment service technician, many years of riding & three years of road racing I have an extensive technical background to better serve the customers of DSC. One of the best things that I love about DSC is that all the employees either ride, snowmobile, or 4 wheel offroad, and we all have a passion for the sport & the industry.

I started riding at 14 years old. My 1st bike was a 1967 175cc Bridgeston H.S. In 1969 I went to work for Countryside Motorsports in Loretto. I started at DSC in 1984 and have been here since. My factory training includes Hodaka, Ossa, Benelli, Triumph, Arctic Cat, Ducati - Level 2, Yamaha - Silver, KTM - LC-8, and Harley-Davidson - Master Tech. For fun, my wife Linda and I like exploring the back roads of Minnesota and Wisconsin on our 2002 Triumph Sprint ST . On occasion I’ll ride my 1966 Ossa 175cc Sport to First Thursdays or other events. I also compete in Short Track, TT and Harescrambles on my 2007 KTM 250 XCF-W.

I have lived in Buffalo for 13 years and am a Cat Master Gold Certified and Polaris MSD Certified Tech. I like the outdoors, and riding my motorcycle, snowmobile and ATV. I like working at DSC because it’s a small family run business with a close group of people and a fun atmosphere.

I am 21 years old and graduated from Blaine HS where I currently live. I attended Hennepin Tech in Eden Prairie for Motorcycle and Marine Repair. During the summer I travel the country racing on the AMA Pro Grand National Flat Track Series. I finished 23rd overall in 2008. I enjoy working at DSC because I have a passion for what I work with and all my co-workers share that same passion.

I was born in Long Lake. In 1972 I started rebuilding snowmobile engines and began learning how to operate Lathes, Mills & Boring Bars. I enjoy riding snowmobiles & dirt bikes and I raced a little bit to get more seat time. In the 90’s I raced jet skis. Butch Donahue used to ask me when I would come and work for him, after about 10 years I took him seriously enough to quit my other job. I have enjoyed working for his family business for 18 years.
