Sales Manager
Born during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Jeff Kuchenbecker was destined to be a motorcycle fanatic. He had his first motorcycle ride with his dad at the young age of 18 months. Harley Davidson is in his blood. Jeff proclaims himself as a Jack-of-All-Trades and Master of none. His work experience ranges from being a culinary professional, Bar and Restaurant manager, Account Manager for Miller Lite, Motorcycle Sales Professional for Harley Davidson and a little of everything in between. Customer service is his strong point along with being able to carry on a conversation with anyone. When he is not thinking motorcycles and cars, Jeff likes to compete throwing darts, watching the Minnesota Gophers win a sporting event (this is a dedicated fan because it doesn’t happen too often), riding atv’s, and going to several live music concerts throughout the year. Stop in and say hi he likes to hear everyone’s story or maybe even a quick joke.

After retiring I needed something to fill my time, I was introduced to Unique Classic Cars and it just seemed to be a good fit for me.
