TitleOwner, Mom, Marketer, Bookworm
Mandy and her husband Josh are co-owners of Power Pac and took over the business in July 2018. She's a marketing guru and comes to us from a marketing agency in Milwaukee where she spent 12 years working with numerous large ag clients. She grew up on a local dairy farm so ATVs, UTVS and snowmobiles were part of her everyday life. She's the mom of two cuties who love coming to Power Pac and helping out where they can. Mandy loves serving the community she grew up in and looks forward to growing the business with the fantastic team we have here at Power Pac.
Josh Witt
Owner
NameJoshWitt
TitleOwner
Josh and his wife, Mandy, are co-owners of Power Pac and took over the business in July 2018. Josh is an avid outdoorsman so if he's not at Power Pac, he's in a stand, in a boat or on a UTV or tractor somewhere in the woods. Josh cut his teeth in large ag equipment sales and the most important thing to him is happy customers. He loves chatting with Power Pac visitors, so if you see him in the showroom, be sure to holler. We'll warn you though... if you start talking hunting or fishing, you'll likely be here a while. :)

TitleParts & Gear Specialist
I've always really enjoyed powersports, growing up, I would be out in the garage helping and learning about small engines with my dad. We had multiple different ATV's and snowmobiles through the years. Other than riding my ATV's, a 2005 Honda TRX450R and 2020 Can-Am Outlander 1000R, I enjoy ice fishing, camping, watching motocross and snowcross. I've been with Power Pac for three years in the parts department.

Pros; I walk at a normal speed. I hiccup silently. I blink at regular intervals. I rarely sneeze. I don’t have chest hair. I sleep with a king sized pillow on a twin mattress. I am not allergic to much.
Cons: I’ve been told I walk too slow. I have violent hiccups that typically cause me to lose control of my bladder. I pass gas when I sneeze and I am usually quite gassy. My shower drain is typically clogged with all the hair I shave off my body. My pillow to mattress ration is out-of-control. I’m allergic to pretty much all tree nuts, shell fish, eggs, pollen, dairy, dander, bee stings and epinephrine.
Bio: I’ll group 1” at 300 yards all day. I like simple things in life and the beagle dog. I have created an environment for myself to thrive in, don’t mess it up. If you have questions, keep them to yourself. If you don’t like my sense of humor, just don’t.
