Gord became a motorcycle enthusiast back when Yamaha was first starting to get popular in Canada. An avid cross-country and motocross racer, he channelled that energy into starting G.A. Pitt Stop in 1974. A couple of years later, the name changed to G.A. Checkpoint, and Gord grew the company into one of the largest and most successful Yamaha dealerships in the country. These days, he enjoys getting away to the interior for ATVing and snowmobiling, and still gets out for a few cruising days on his motorcycles.

Brendan started in the marine industry in 1989 after moving here from Dublin, Ireland. After nine years in marine retail sales, he joined Yamaha Motor Canada, where he focused on dealer development and sales throughout Western Canada. Outside of work, he loves spending his summers at the lake with his family on their Yamaha-powered pontoon boat, and spending winter days out on a Yamaha sled in the fresh powder.
