The Team

Jason

Jason truly loves and lives the American V-Twin lifestyle. To him, it will always be about RIDING the motorcycles. Making the bikes perform better, go faster, and look cool is his primary focus. Jason moved to the Black Hills in 2014 from Charleston, South Carolina, where he owned Jason's Garage Inc. He owns a '79 FLH, '01 Fatboy (Devo's Bike), '15 Road Glide, a '92 FXR, and a couple custom Shovelheads. Jason was the tech editor for American Bagger and Urban Bagger Magazines for over three years. He is a proud member of Hamsters USA.

Josh

Josh has been riding and wrenching for over twenty years. He owned Power Factory Custom Cycles in Portsmouth, VA for several years, studying under the master Eddie Boomhower (Mr. B). Jason & Josh are lifelong friends, and it only made sense for him to work with Jason at DCC. The two make a great team, truly able to finish each others' sentences. Josh owns a couple custom bikes, a Road King, and a hot rod FXR we call "Fast & Ugly".

Clay

Long time friend and brother to Jason, Clay owns his own fabrication company Mule Fab out of Southern Illinois. Clay has been shaping and twisting metal for over 15 years. Not being located in the Black Hills, Clay regularly comes back and puts his mark on our custom builds with his exceptional metal work. He is in the process of building his own Custom Rigid Chopper, as well as a custom FXR style rubber-mount "non-bagger".

Tyler

Tyler, who joined the DCC team in January 2019, was born and raised in the Black Hills. He wears many hats, multi-tasking from one job to the next. Youngest in the shop, Tyler received an Honorable Discharge from the USMC in 2015. Eager to learn, smart, and determined, Tyler is a strong addition to the team. After beginning his apprenticeship in January 2019, he has began his ride to a life of spinning wrenches, learning every detail from Jason. Tyler has built a custom '86 XLX883 that is being transformed into a Tracker, with his eyes on a Dyna in the near future.

Kevin

With amazing fabrication skills, Kevin is no stranger to motorcycles. He has built and ridden motorcycles for 25 years. He is a metallurgist and mineralogist with a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. Kevin was a staff scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for a decade and a consultant for seven years focusing on engineering failure analysis. Kevin has welded since he was 15, and is a Certified Weld Inspector for the American Welding Society. From fabrication to critical thinking, Kevin is a very welcome addition to the Team. He has an unwashed Exile Rigid Chopper, and a 2001 Nightrain. All Kevin's bikes are brown.

Charlie

Charlie was raised in Deadwood, kicking sawdust around the floor of the Saloon No. 10. Charlie handles our all of our apparel designs, as well as manages the Monkey Bar located in our shop. Smart and always smiling, Charlie brings a great attitude and vibe to the shop. Oh and guys, don't get any ideas, she is married to Jason.

JD

J.D. was born in Mesa Arizona, yet grew up here in the beautiful Black Hills. J.D. accrued almost 20 years of wrenching experience, before making his way to the Team. His education ranges from Electrical Engineering from SDSM&T; as well as, a well rounded curriculum from Harley Davidson University (HDU) in Milwaukee. J.D. is excited to be a part of the team; to experience the subculture of Harley Davidson, as well as to work in a Performance-based aftermarket shop. J.D. owns many bikes, his favorite being his '72 XLCH, which happens to be a family heir loom.
