We are Garage Composites.

Sam’s affinity for boating came naturally while growing up on a lake in rural Florida. As an avid skier/wake boarder, he also worked in a dive shop for years through high school and early college. He fell in love with both motorcycles and bicycles through college and beyond, and continues to partake in all aspects of each of these passions.  More importantly, he shares all of these passions with his wife and kid, frequently taking his daughter to school in a Ural Sidecar. 

Sam does his best to balance these passions of family and fun with a significant travel schedule, delivering keynote speeches and workshops to retailers throughout the country in all three arenas of marine, powersports, and the bicycle industries.  As well as moderating 20-Clubs, Sam is also a lead trainer with the General Manager and Sales Managers Management Training Academies.

Tony Gonzalez is a Colorado native who loves being outdoors. When he is not working he can be found with his wife Amy and his two sons, Cruz and Diego. The family partakes in camping, bicycling, dirt biking as well as snowshoeing, skiing, and snowmobiling. Tony is a dedicated family man and puts everything else second.

Gonzalez began his career in the motorcycle industry when he was hired by Ed Lemco in 2004. A true student of the Powersports and Marine industries, he quickly became a sales trainer and a moderator. Gonzalez has a keen model to motivate his clients and is considered one of the best 20-Club moderators in the industry. Tony believes that his greatest accomplishment was recreating the environment that put the dealers first again. He is passionate about being a dealers advocate and firmly believes that his dealers are his family, not his clients. 

Glorita "Glo" Cuiffi grew up in Pittsburgh (for those of you in the know, she is NOT a Yinzer). Glo moved to Florida after graduating from Penn State and started working at Fort Myers Harley-Davidson (with Scott Fischer Enterprises) in hospitality. She ended up working with SFE for 17 years and was able to move her way up the ranks by being a student of the business, eventually becoming the COO.

After moving back to Pittsburgh in 2018, Glo connected with Sam and Tony about using her experience to work with other dealers. They gave her a shot as a moderator, and she found that she loves being on the other side of the 20 Club table working with dealers on how to maximize opportunity.  She became a partner with GC in 2022.

When she is not working, she can be found hanging out with her husband Joe and her Cat Bros, Benji and Bean, and their sister - Betty Boop. Otherwise, Glo can be found with her head in a book relaxing, hopefully somewhere warm!

After purchasing her first motorcycle (against her fathers wishes), an EX500, at the age of 17, Jolene quickly became an avid enthusiast and began her career in the powersports industry in Michigan. She soon transitioned to Harley-Davidson, where she advanced through various roles over 27 years, including Accounting, Sales, Finance, and ultimately General Manager for the majority of her career.

In 2009, Jolene returned to her home state of Ohio and continued her career with a large dealer group. During that time, she had the opportunity to work with Garage Composites in a 20 Club.  That experience ultimately inspired her to join the GC team.  This new role gave her the opportunity to share her passion for leadership, personal growth, and continuous learning with our clients. As Jolene puts it, “GC gives me the opportunity to be around people who are constantly trying to grow and improve their lives and careers.”

Though most may call her a workaholic, Jolene’s true passion is her family, her husband Adam, three daughters (twins Danielle and Mackenzie, and youngest Hayden), and her newest love, her granddaughter Shaylin. When she’s not working, you’ll most likely find Jolene traveling. Often to Florida to visit her daughter or gathering the whole family to go somewhere else with lots of sunshine.

I live in Denver, Colorado with my beautiful wife Mary and my two big ol dogs. My love for motorcycles came at an early age with dirt biking at 12 years old. My passion for motorcycles continued to grow from there, taking me on multiple 1,000-mile trips over Baja, snowmobiling the backcountry and getting my first Harley Davidson at 21. Mary, my two dogs, and I enjoy everything in the outdoors.

My primary focus is dealership training and running our Managers Training Academies with an emphasis on process and leadership. I enjoy getting the most out of our dealers and processes to ultimately provide the tools in maintaining relationships for life. I have been fortunate to be with Garage Composites since 2016 - continuing to teach and train, all while still learning on how to better the industry one engagement at a time.

Ray Mondragon is an experienced professional and Colorado native with over 20 years in sales, marketing, and leadership development. He began his career in the Powersports Industry in 2004, learning from industry veterans and taking on roles in Sales, Marketing, Rentals, Finance, and Riding Academy while in-dealership. While his journey later led him to leadership roles outside the industry in Marketing, Sales, and Telecom, he always stayed rooted in his passion for helping others grow personally and professionally.

Alongside his wife Caiti, a dedicated fourth-grade teacher, his most significant accomplishments lie in his three amazing kids: Emaleigh, a college senior studying Education with a passion to serve others; Elijah, a college sophomore studying Mechanical Engineering and gifted athlete and creator; and Eydan, a high school freshman with a love for sports, acting, singing, and a knack for making people laugh.

Driven by a mission to inspire and serve others, Ray is an active soccer and wrestling coach in his local community, has an unhealthy obsession with Back to the Future, and is a practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, raising money annually for a BJJ non-profit, Tap Cancer Out. Ray’s bucket list includes a solo cross-country motorcycle trip, playing the national anthem on the guitar at a professional sporting event, and giving a TED Talk on suicide prevention and awareness. For Ray, impact always outweighs income, and life is best lived with purpose, passion, and a finely crafted cocktail paired with a great steak.

He is new to the powersports industry, but is extremely excited to begin working with a group of passionate people. Luke is very happy he can continue working with numbers in his new role, and is thrilled to dig into them to help dealers reach their highest potential. 

When not working Luke can be found at home in Milwaukee cooking, reading, working out, and exploring local restaurants. Otherwise, Luke likes to be on the road camping, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors in any way he can, or attempting to watch the St. Louis Cardinals in ballparks across the country.

Dave Cotteleer was born and raised in Illinois farm country. His three great passions are his family, music and all things powersports. When he is not working he can be found with his wife of 35 years, Amy, their 3 grown kids and 3 grandchildren, or noodling in his recording studio.

Dave began his career by pursuing his love of music. As a musician, Dave toured the US and Canada and recorded and released multiple projects. His passion for music continues today as the owner of a world-class recording studio in Wauwatosa, WI.

Following his music career, Dave entered the powersports business with Harley-Davidson. Dave is a seasoned C-level executive with 30 years of experience. He spent 25 years at Harley-Davidson Motor Company, starting as an intern in 1996 and working through almost every part of the organization. Ultimately, Dave spent 6 years as Global Chief Information Officer (CIO) followed by 4 years as Vice President & Managing Director - North America Sales prior to his retirement in 2021.

Following his tenure at HDMC, Dave transitioned into Senior Leadership within the powersports dealer network. From 2022 though 2025, Dave served as CEO of Windy City Motorcycle Company. Windy City was the largest Harley-Davidson dealer group in the Midwest with 9 H-D locations along with multiple KTM, Triumph and Polaris franchises. In the face of a contracting powersports marketplace, Dave’s primary role at Windy City was to lead the restructuring of the company through location consolidations, cost structure reductions and portfolio rationalization. Through this process, Windy City grew market share on both new and pre-owned vehicle sales while significantly reducing its operating footprint and cost structure.

A proud Nebraska native and country girl at heart, she’s guided by faith, family, and the wisdom of rural life’s simple joys—like wrangling two sets of twins, standing by her Army Veteran spouse, and growing their little farm on their 20-acre property with ducks, chickens, Wagyu cattle, cats, and a dog.

When she’s not outsmarting inefficiencies, you’ll find her as her kids’ biggest cheerleader at their sporting events, snuggled up with a good book, or tossing out sarcasm with coffee in hand, thanking God for the beautiful mess of it all.

At the age of 18 David crossed the Canadian/US border on his 1978 Honda 750 Four heading for the American Dream. With $262 Canadian in his pocket, he was not quite sure what that dream was going to look like. He knew it involved powersports.

He quickly found himself living in Boulder, Colorado working for Colorado National Bank. His financial background, love for motorcycles and his entrepreneurial spirit spurred him to open a Motorcycle Rental and Tour company in Denver. He then had the great fortune to work with Ed Lemco, Sam and Tony for a number of years before purchasing Green Mountain Harley-Davidson in Essex Junction, Vermont.

The success of Green Mountain HD allowed him to purchase Santa Fe Harley-Davidson and expand that dealership into a multi line operation. He recently sold his stores and took time out to develop a race team with the goal to tackle the famous Dakar Rally in 2023. The team headed to Saudi Arabia and was able to have one teammate be the first American in the history of the event (45 years) to cross the finish line and complete the event unassisted.

He credits his success to the power of a 20 Club and all the benefits that surround a group of dealers who have a willingness to change and push each other to be a better version of themselves. He has been married to his "bad-ass" wife for almost 20 years and now spends his time in Arizona and wherever the path leads.

I was born in Australia and grew up there, Bangladesh and Colorado. I entered the powersports industry in 1981 working at Fay Myers Motorcycle World in Denver where I started the F&I department. After ten years of working and attending college at night, I started wholesaling used bikes to Europe. This gig lasted six years at which time I bought Star City Motor Sports in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1997. This store carried five brands when I bought it and we were up to ten brands when I sold it in 2022. I also owned Platte River Harley-Davidson from 2016 to 2022.

I joined a Lemco 20-Club in 1998 and the benefits that we enjoyed were immediate. I still vividly remember my first meeting and how the lights went on. I thought I knew everything and in fact I knew next to nothing. I was so pleased with the resulting growth in sales, profits, processes, and quality of life improvements and I want to help other dealers in the same way.

Retirement has given me the time to pursue my sports and hobbies. I’m an avid off-road motorcycle rider and I’m lately also enjoying adventure riding around the world. I absolutely love skiing, especially in the backcountry and mountain climbing around the world. Perhaps my most notable climb was summiting Mt Everest in 2016.

I’ve been happily married for 34 years and we have three adult kids. My older daughter is my ski buddy and my son is my riding buddy.

Derrick comes to us from the Bicycle Industry, where he spent the last 15 years working on the retail side of the business. Playing both Sales and Service, he understands what it takes to succeed, and is passionate about creating the best possible customer experience.

Derrick grew up in Pennsylvania. Motorcycles have been in the family since he can remember, and at one time there was a family dealership, though he never got to see it. He bought his first motorcycle when he was 16, and it was about that same time that he discovered mountain biking, which ultimately set him on the path of a career in the Industry.

In search of nicer weather, and the next step in his career, Derrick moved to North Carolina and started working with the shop that introduced him to what next-level retail looks like. Focusing on customer service, process, and creating the ultimate experience inside the store is what has led to his success. "Put the people first, the product second, and the money will follow."

When he is not at work you'll find him hanging with his girlfriend, Holliday. Most likely riding together, playing outside, or exploring somewhere around the country in their van.
