  • Ron Schieferdecker , Assistant Sales Manager

    Hello, I am Ron Schieferdecker, and I am proud to be a part of the Mid-America Harley Davidson family. I have been involved in the sales industry for over 20 years, and pride myself in handling every deal with honesty and integrity.

     

    My love for two wheels began with my first bike, a Honda CT70, which my Father purchased for me from my Grandfather. I was 8 at the time, and motorcycles have been in my blood ever since! Being a sales manager for MAHD is hands down the greatest career that I have ever had. Everyday that I come to work, I get to put smiles on people's faces by helping make one of the great American dreams come to fruition??owning a Harley Davidson motorcycle!

     

    In my time spent away from the dealership you will find me spending time with my beautiful wife Melissa and our four amazing children. Our entire family loves to ride, but it is a challenge sometimes fitting everyone on my RoadGlide. When not with my family you will find me at home on many Missouri stages, heading up my new band SoulRoot. I have been the front man for several Mid-Missouri bands for the past 20 years. My last music venture was a group called 2 Buck Drunk which played with several national acts, including Hinder, Candlebox, 7 Mary 3, Marshall Tucker Band, Saliva and Blue Oyster Cult, just to name a few.

     

    Now??..I know what you are thinking, selling Harleys and singing in a rock band!..... I am a blessed man for certain and life has never been better.

     

    I encourage you to get down here and put yourself in the saddle of an American legend, Harley-Davidson.

  • Kevin Dennis
    , Business Manager

    Kevin Dennis here, I just got the opportunity to join the awesome staff here at Mid America Harley Davidson as the Business Manager. Coming from the Saint Louis area I can tell you I look forward to discovering the Columbia area.I have over 15 years in sales marketing and advertising?And like most of you the Harley Davidson fever is strong.

    Soon after I got my first bike, a 2008 XL1200C (Sportster 1200 Custom Black and Orange) my life was on a different track...maybe I did not know yet but time proved it. I soon traded in for a 2009 FXDB (Dyna Street Bob in Vivid Black)?had lots of fun customizing until I decided the call of the open road was too strong and I had to take off for a "REAL" trip. I traded in for a 2009 FLHRC (Road King Classic in Teal and Antique White) and rode off the dealership lot on a 6000 mile journey to cover over nine states in almost four weeks. It is and always will be one of my fondest memories. 

    After putting on 35,000 miles and working at a Harley Davidson dealership for more than one year I felt the urge for something new. I now ride a 2012 Harley Davidson FLHRC (Road King Classic in Vivid Black) and had this one built by the guys in the shop.

    I am excited to be a part of this great community and amazing dealership and I look forward to meeting each and every member of the Mid America family

  • Kollin King , Sales

    Power Animal: Catfish

    Hello world! My name is Kollin King, a.k.a. "Koko". I'm the newest Sales Associate here at Mid America Harley-Davidson and have obtained a lot about motorcycles in my time here. I actually learned how to ride my first bike, which was a brand new Iron 883, here at the dealership by Steve-O (Our Sales Manager). Two months after riding the Iron, I traded up to a Dyna Wide Glide and have ridden over 11,000 miles my first year. Riding and talking about motorcycles is definitely my passion. I ride around with a large group of people here in town, and we're always looking for more people to ride with! I also volunteer for Big Brother Big Sister's, and our dealership plans on doing events/fundraiser's with them this summer. Having bosses and coworkers that are such great people truly makes this place unique and very enjoyable to go to work every day. Come on in and visit our family. I look forward to seeing you!

  • Steve Tuchschmidt , Dealer Principal

    My name is Steve Tuchschmidt, one of the owners and operators here at Mid America Harley Davidson. I am married and have two wonderful children; Steve-O, who is twenty-seven, and our Sales Manager, and my lovely daughter Katie, who is twenty-three and serves as the Business Manager as well as the Riders Edge Coordinator.  Katie is a recent graduate of University of Missouri. Go Tigers! 

    I have a passion that runs deep for the sport of motorcycling. When I was a very young child, my father would give me rides on the back of his bike. Back in 1970, I got my first bike. It was a blue Honda SL70. I will never forget the day my father brought it home for me because I developed an undying love for the sport of motorcycling. I have been riding my entire life, whether it has been in the dirt, on a track or enjoying a long ride on my Harley® bike with friends.

    My father and I purchased this dealership in September of 2001, after a two-year pursuit. This is the first motorcycle dealership either of us has been involved in and the passion still runs deep after ten years. Anyone that knows me knows where to find me, right here at the Shop!  

    It has been said that you will never work another day in your life if you are doing something you love.

    See ya at the shop!

  • Laura Tuchschmidt , Dealer Principal

    My name is Laura Tuchschmidt and I am one of the owners here at Mid America Harley Davidson. You won't see me running around the shop as much as Steve, but I am always here. I am in charge of the "paper-pushing," counting the pennies and keeping everyone in line. Between my two children that work here and our tight knit staff, we are more like one big family and I play the role of the mother.

    My love for motorcycles came later in life, when I met the love of my life. When I first met Steve, he lived, breathed and bled motorcycles. I knew that if I wanted to share my life with him I had to be open to the idea of motorcycles. When he came to me with the plan of owning his own motorcycle shop I was completely supportive. I knew this would make Steve happy and it would be a family business. For over 30 years now my life has been motorcycles and I wouldn't change a thing!

Stop by and see us all here at Mid America Harley Davidson!

    I have known the Tuchschmidts for over a decade. I enjoy working for such a wonderful family. I look forward to seeing you in the shop. That's me in front of a Corpse Flower. It is the largest flower in the world and only blooms once every couple of years. It gets its name from the odor it emits while blooming. It smells like rotting flesh!

  • Ashlee James , Motorclothes

    Hey everyone, my name is Ashlee and I work in motorclothes!  I graduated from Stephens College last spring with a degree in Theater.  When I was in grade school I started playing the viola and never stopped.  If you see me at the shop I will most likely be the one singing, laughing or saying silly things! Recently, I took the Riders Edge course to learn how to ride a motorcycle and passed with flying colors! It was scary at first but now I'm riding like a pro. Who knows, I may be on a bike before long!
