About More Than Rewards

Meet the More Than Rewards Crew


Jason Brethorst

Jason Brethorst - Founder/CEO

An eccentric ex-software developer who has more ideas than he has post-it notes (most of which are never implemented because they require a flux capacitor). Jason is an entrepreneur at heart who has had several successful start-up companies. He secretly wants to be a captain of a pirate ship, but instead sails with a crew of folks who would put the characters of Big Bang Theory to shame. You can watch his video blog on YouTube. He loves God, his family, his co-workers, his cats, and of course his customers.

Ben Blahnik

Ben Blahnik – Chief Bean Counter

A natural number cruncher of the highest caliber, Ben helps More Than Rewards regarding all aspects of financial stuff. He loved math so much he actually took his actuary certification tests. He often fills our white boards with cryptic calculations and insane proportions. It’s fun working with Ben, as during lunch he would tell you your chances of cracking a tooth biting into a ham sandwich, or the variability of one of your potato chips resembling the profile of a former U.S. president. If only we could get him to help pick our Powerball numbers it would increase our chances of winning millions of dollars. Perhaps if we promise him more white board space we could convince him of our plan.

Brandon Siegesmund

Brandon Siegesmund – VP Communications

Unknown to most people, years ago Brandon was an Independent Freighter Contractor and Captain, and with one First Mate/Mechanic he moved spice around the Outer Rim Territories. Although, he pretty much carried anything he could as long as he could easily dump it in case of any “imperial entanglements.” Most of Brandon's work was done in collaboration with the Hutt clan, but that didn't end too well. The one thing Brandon didn't carry was people, and during his entire career he only made one exception. He's also really good at making a lot of modifications.

Bill Brethorst

Bill Brethorst – Quality Assurance Manager

He basically is comprised of one part MacGyver and one part Fox Mulder. We do not say that in jest. He handles the billing, operations, and quality control aspects at More Than Rewards – but that’s just his day job. He enjoys installing security and audio systems, and has recently built a teleprompter and our popular wonder wheel from scratch! He will pretty much build and fix anything electronic while debating the nature of the Annunaki and the UFO enigma. In another life he may have worked alongside Nikola Tesla or Werner Von Braun, geniuses in their own right. But, we are glad Bill’s on our side. We just have to “accidently” break things once in a while to keep him involved with projects.

John Guerra

John "The Closer" Guerra - OEM Sales Manager

"Coffee is for Closers." John has over 15 years of sales experience in industries such as Telecommunications, Software, and Real Estate. He discovered his passion for sales at the age of 12 when he took his brother’s Atari and later sold it back to him for a substantial profit. He now spends his time working with H-D and Powersports dealers across the country. In his spare time, he enjoys trying to maintain a relationship with his crazy fiancée. John's other hobbies include trying to focus on the television while his children wreak havoc on the household, a skill he has not quite mastered yet.

Kenneth George

Kenneth George - Sr. "Ninja" Developer

Besides kicking butt as a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, he knocks out new code with his furious developer skills day and night to bring new products to our customers. He programs so much that he dreams in code, and then brings those dreams in the next day to finish the projects. Besides learning the latest coding designs and languages he enjoys spending time with his friends and family.

Pat Heide

Pat Heideman - Mobile Solutions Architect

Do you know anyone who calculates asymptotic lines on a ruled hyperboloid and solves third degree polynomial equations in their spare time? Super mathlete Pat has earned a Bachelor degree doing such equations. He didn't stop there; he also holds several software development certifications including; Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) and Sun Certified Professional (SCP). Pat is our Mobile Solutions Architect and the lead developer on our Let's Buy Local mobile application. Pat's leadership, dedication, and teamwork make him an awesome part of the More Than Rewards team. Though, we hear Dr. Evil is scouting for him right now, so he's currently working in an undisclosed abandoned missile silo.

Ivan Merlin

Ivan "Pretty Boy" Merlin – Art Director

Better known to the masses as "Pretty Boy Ive-Adonis" because of his awe-inspiring bod, this guy is a true and dedicated art lover and creator. He will work tirelessly to make sure any project he is involved with is aesthetically the best it can be, because a world without beauty is a world in which the pretty boy cannot exist.

Luis Betancourt

Luis Betancourt - Graphic Designer

Luis likes to spend his free time growing his beard out and daydreaming about becoming a cage fighter. He is a loving husband and enjoys spending time with his wife. He's also an avid gamer, and likes to relax by mowing down opposing drug dealers in his sports car and using bazookas to shoot down helicopters. This usually lands him in trouble, resulting in high speed chases with the police, and screams from his wife ordering him to "Turn that crap down!"

Kristen and Cory

Kristin & Cory - The Ladies of Marketing

Let's get this out of the way. Yes, Kristin and Cory are real-life identical twin sisters. And, yes, you can find them hanging out in our video production studio with Jason making video blogs, or even treating the office to boxes of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. They are the official "Ladies of Marketing." But, don't let their allure and camera-loving nature fool you. Kristin and Cory are also talented, hard-working entertainment professionals who travel all over the country singing, writing, and recording music when they are not at More Than Rewards. You can visit their website here.

laura

Laura Hoffman - eLearning Trainer

From newsletter, training, and sales videos, to any other of our avant-garde productions, Laura lends us her on-camera talents for exciting and informative presentations. As the eLearning Trainer, she works closely with all our teams to understand our software, and bring them to the stage of the world. When she’s not performing at More Than Rewards, Laura loves the outdoors, Wisconsin sports teams, and traveling.

Justin Brethorst

Justin "The Traveler" Brethorst – Network Operations Manager

The MTR crew met Justin 12 years ago at a ComicCon convention. He was wheeling around a large black bin and saying he would "drastically speed up the evolution of our technology." He really only had an IBM 5100 computer from the 1970's. Thinking it was a joke, we pulled out a current Windows 98 laptop and Justin's exclaimed, "They sent me to the wrong time! It's too late!" He explained that scientists from the year 2185 sent him to 1955 on a covert mission to introduce early PC technology into our society. But, he somehow arrived in 1999 with no way to return back! We promised Justin – or, as he became known as "The Traveler" – he could work at More Than Rewards utilizing his advanced skills until he engineers a way back home. He tells us he's pretty close, and all he needs is a TARDIS.

Josh Maier

Joshua "Ace of Spades" Maier - Customer Ambassador

Acting as The More Than Rewards “wildcard,” Joshua does various things from trade shows, marketing, and customer support, and he even has pitched in some sales along the way. Bringing years of marketing and support experience from a wide variety of industries to the table, Joshua thrives on multitasking. An organized workspace, detailed notes, and a clean-shaven face are what to expect from him. “Ace of Spades” has some favorite pastimes including basketball, bowling, hanging with friends, and “looking for love in all the wrong places.”

Aricka Cohen

Aricka Cohen – Contact Central Dealer Mentor

This “Rocker” (said with a British accent) marches to the beat of her own drum. With a flair for the 50’s, she can be found riding her motorcycle, herding cats, and binging on TV series which blur the lines of reality and fantasy. Having working knowledge of dealerships and several CRMs used in the powersport industry, Aricka has adapted well to working with Contact Central and FreePowersportCRM.  She is also known as our token in-house girl to keep the MTR boys in check.

Ryan Clarke

Ryan Clarke - Customer Service Champion

Ryan is one of our dutiful customer service reps, and is also a sort of "renaissance man" of Wisconsin. He's originally from Madison and a huge Milwaukee Brewers fan. His dreams were recently crushed when they made it to the playoffs for the first time in 25 years and totally biffed in the first series. You can also find him playing all sorts of video games, and showing off with his poker skills in his spare time.

Sarah Fitzgerald

Sarah Fitzgerald - Customer Service Champion

Sarah is secretly a creative genius. She is involved with a whole host of arts like metalsmithing, photography, and graphic design. She also is big into cultivating house plants and spending as much time outdoors as possible. And, you'll never meet a self-proclaimed expert of various dishwasher configuration styles. We wish that skill could help our customers, but maybe she’ll help us develop and app for that.

Maryiln Shaw

Marylin Shaw - Customer Service Champion

In the summer, Marilyn enjoys riding motorcycles with her husband and spending time outdoors. (Of course, "summer" in Wisconsin only lasts about five weeks.) She also spends a lot of time with family--especially her three grandchildren. We appreciate Marilyn's great work with our customers, and hope she is able to keep up her riding in the spring and fall.

Jordan Dash

Jordan Dash - Customer Service Champion

Jordan is a real go-getter. He tries to fish, canoe, and hike as much as possible in Wisconsin's beautiful wilderness, lakes, streams, and trail areas. But, like most other More Than Rewards people, he likes to play video games – A LOT. So if there's a death-match to be had, a multi-player session, or a co-op adventure game, you can count Jordan in.

Holly Hill

Holly Hill - Customer Service Champion

For many years Holly used to work at a major Wisconsin company building tractors and farm equipment, but is now working with the More Than Rewards crew helping our customers. She likes to take it easy, going to craft shows during her free time, as well as spending as much time as possible with her husband and two sons.

Sarah-Williams

Sarah Williams - Customer Service Champion

We sometimes chide Sarah into getting out more, but she's pretty quiet by nature. Though, she is pretty busy being a part-time student so we can forgive her. She tends to spend her time cooking and reading, and maybe will mix it up by reading about cooking. She does a great job helping out our customers.
