Zach is a motocross rider (YZ250F) and also has a Grizzly 450. Zach is a big Minnesota Vikings fan, and likes to discuss the 2009 NFL season. This has caused Sam to want to throttle him numerous times.

Matt is a also a MMI graduate, and is a new father of a cute little girl. One day, we''''ll see if Matt can braid hair...Zach was our parts department employee for 2 years before moving to service. He owns a 2008 YZ450F, and a 76 Nova in need of a thorough restoration. Do they make new front framerails for a 1976 Nova?? No? How about rear quarter panels? No?
James rides a V Star 650, and plays guitar in his spare time. He is our quietest employee, a trait which I really admire. James is an all-around nice guy.
