Greg Rules. It's on his door at work. Funny story behind that of course... but know he works tirelessly to keep our inventory and programs and financing options in check so our customers can get out and ride. He's an avid outdoorsman, and when he can find time he's at camp down near Georgetown. Greg has ridden everything we sell. He and his family live right in the Brewerton area.

We joke that Brad came with the building (2002). He is our walking encyclopedia at the counter. He got into racing ATV's and that led him into the powersports industry. Brad was born and raised in Brewerton area and now lives in Central Square. He has a camp where he enjoys hunting and riding his Yamaha ATV, as often as he can. He also crews on a race team where he helps on the weekends with car setup and chassis adjustments. You can often catch him at your local racetrack, or on vacation during Super DIRT Week.

Shawn started Preferred Powersports in 2002, Like many, he grew up in the area but career took him out of state with plenty of travel and corporate policy. He moved back into Syracuse with his family after finally recognizing he needed something different. Since he grew up riding and being outdoors, the powersports opportunity seemed like a good fit.
