Meet Our Team

Meet some of the most knowledgeable guys in the business. Our parts team combines their passion for riding with constant training to make them some of the best in the business.

Joe Entenman, Parts Manager

 Joe has spent the majority of his life right here in Sioux Falls or Brandon. If you ask him how long he's been here, he'll say he's "serving a life sentence". He rides a 2003 Anniversary Heritage Springer Softail Classic. Joe's favorite road trip was a ride into Michigan and the upper peninsula, but if he could ride anywhere in the world it would be through Glacial National Park and then to Alaska. When not riding or working, Joe is busy "building stuff" and woodworking or spending time with his faithful puggle, Tilly.

   

Mitch Hoffmann, Chrome Consultant

Originally from St. James, MN, Mitch came to J&L in 2005. He has always been around bikes, snowmobiles, and old cars that he had a chance to work on. He has owned all sorts of motorcycles, including a 2005 XL1200C Sportster. Mitch has one son, Mason, and a dog named Sparky. When not at J&L, he enjoys hunting, shooting pool, working on old cars, collecting vintage bicycles and spending time with family and friends.

"Mitch's attitude and service were exceptional, especially at this busy time (Sturgis)" Randy from Winnipeg

Rich Christenson, Parts Specialist 

Rich is a native of Sioux Falls and loves to ride his Sportster 1200 in and around his hometown.  He started in the J&L Parts Department in August of 2011 and has enjoyed it so far.  When he is not assisting customers at the store you can find him tinkering on his motorcycle, watching movies or going out with his friends.  Rich does not have “one favorite ride” he has many.
