Name Ann Marie Hofmeister
Title Owner
Ann grew up in the motorcycle business with her dad, so it's only natural that she's here now, doing what she does best - running a Harley-Davidson® dealership! Ann graduated from the U of M Carlson School of Management in 2000 with & bachelor's degree in Business. She now applies her business degree and great management skills to oversee every area of Faribault Harley-Davidson®.
She's been riding since 1999 and if you can't find her here, on any given sunny day, she's out riding one of her 2019 CVO® Road Glide®. She has no real specific place she loves to ride because she thinks that every bit of America is worth exploring. She enjoys riding with her friends, as well as with the many group rides she goes on every year.

Name Kelly
Title A&L Associate
Fashion has followed Kelly from being a '08 Cosmetology graduate to managing our extensive MotorClothes® department at Faribault Harley-Davidson®. Kelly truly loves the open road - she says that as long as you're riding, it doesn't matter the location (although the Bad Lands of South Dakota are nice). She's been taking in the view from the passenger seat for a while now, but she did get her endorsement through our Riding Academy®course- maybe one day soon she'll drive her own.
In her free time, she likes to go shopping, spend time with family and friends, cook, watch movies and be outdoors in the sunshine.

Name Julian
Title Sales Associate
From the Hastings area.
Has been on motorcycles since he got out of diapers and rode on the tank of his fathers 1977 Cafe Racer Sportster that was purchased at Faribault Harley-Davidson in the early 1980's. Graduated to the back and ultimately getting his own "Hand Me Down" Sportster in High School.
He is a car and bike guy. Currently owns 3 Motorcycles and 3 cars with many more on the list to add to the collection. 1997 Dyna Super Glide, 1998 Sportster 1200, and a 2003 Buell Firebolt. 1993 Pontiac Trans Am, 2006 Chrysler 300C, and a 2007 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor....and yes, it's Black and White :)
Has taken many family vacations with Sportsters as a youth and adult. His family was coined by friends as "The Sportster Family From Minnesota" for many years and the family still owns the original collection.
Has worked in different HD dealerships with positions in Sames, Apparel 7 Licensing, and Buell Parts/E-Commerce Manager!
Has attended the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally over 30 times in his almost 40 years on this Earth with the last 4 working at that dealer during rally. Recently added Bikes, Blues, and BBQ in Rogers Arkansas as well as Daytona Bike Week are now a part of his ever growing experience.
Worked for Ford Motor Company building Ford Rangers in St. Paul from 2007 until the end in 2011. Has been a part of building over 400,000 Ford Rangers with a few Mazda B-Series trucks. Transferred to Louisville to build Escapes but returned to be close to family.
Looked like Joe Dirt as a child with a sweet Mullet until Middle school. Has had more than one vacation at the Grand Canyon but was not left there....just slammed his hand in the door of the van, not left while adventuring in a trash can.
When he's not riding, the gym, Xbox gaming, spending time at his personal shop of bikes and cars, and general adventuring for yummy Ice Cream and Chicken Wings are always on the agenda. Much like Felicia, he's always going somewhere.
His dream/goal is to work his way up the ranks and run or own his own dealer(s) someday or have a position with Harley-Davidson Corporate.
Long rides to clear the mind. Mountain Dews in icy mugs. Chicken Wings. Balloon Animals. Watching the sun rise or set. and getting to meet all you fine people! Come say hi!

Name Mike
Title Service Manager
Mike Graduated in '88 for auto body at ATI in Austin, Minnesota and has nearly three decades of mechanics under his belt. Being in his 39th year of riding motorcycles, you can imagine he's been all over, but the place he'd pick over anywhere else to ride, is the Black Hills in South Dakota on his 2019 Road Glide in late summer.
In his free time he likes spending time with his wife, Belinda, and their cat and three dogs. He also enjoys music, his sick new Bronco, and target practicing at the gun range.
A Favorite Quote: "Work smarter, not harder."

Master Service Technician
Name Chris
Title Master Service Technician
Chris graduated with top honors in 2011 with a Master of Technology in 2001. He has been a motorcycle mechanic for over a decade and has been riding since his legs were just long enough to reach the foot pedals.
He truly likes his freedom... when asked his favorite place to ride, he replied, "away from work." So if you see him outside of work on his '06 HD® Bagger - aka "The Silver Bullet," he's probably having the time of his life because that's what he likes to do best.
When he's not working or riding, he likes to hunt, fish, camp and party on the pontoon.

Name John
Title Master Service Technician
John is a 2012 graduate of MMI Phoenix and has loved the work he does ever since! He's been riding for a little longer than he has been wrenching, but is already hooked. His favorite places to ride are Northern Arizona and Southern Colorado where the desert meets the mountains. Outside of his job, he loves time with his wife and four children, go-kart racing, and working on his 'old truck.'
