In the heart of central Nebraska, Craig Stokerbrand has transformed Kearney Power Sports from a simple sales job into a thriving dealership built on integrity, mentorship, and continuous learning. Craig's journey began unexpectedly. With a teaching degree in hand, he took a sales position in 1998, never imagining he would become a passionate power sports dealership owner. "I have no passion for power sports," he admits, yet, over two decades later, he's created a successful dealership. Serving a 70-mile radius in central Nebraska, Kearney Powersports stands out by filling critical market gaps. As the only dealership offering pre-owned Harley Davidsons within a three-hour radius, they've carved a unique niche in a region where power sports vehicles are often seen as essential farm equipment rather than recreational toys.
Craig's leadership philosophy is anchored in two fundamental beliefs: "The only way a person can lose their integrity is if they gave it away," and, "Be the best version of myself that I can possibly be." Following mentor Jim Rohn's advice, he practices being fully present - whether at work, with family, or pursuing personal interests like bird dog training. What truly sets Craig apart is his commitment to developing his team. With over half his staff staying 12+ years, he conducts weekly training sessions that extend far beyond sales techniques. "I just want them to be more successful than I've been," he shares. From responding to every single Google review to organizing team dinner rides, Craig has created a dealership culture that values genuine human connection. His background in education shines through in his continuous coaching, transforming what could be a typical sales environment into a learning ecosystem.
For Craig Stokerbrand, Kearney Powersports is more than a dealership. It's a platform for personal development, community building, and proving that success is measured not just in sales, but in the lives you positively impact.
