Claudia Woods Owner / Partner ![]()
Hello, My name is Claudia Woods. I was born in Dallas, Texas and attended Mountain View Junior College where I received an Associate Degree in Business. Mark and I have been married for 30 fun-filled, adventurous years and have been blessed with a daughter, Cayce who is 26 and a son, Paul who is 23. We moved to New Braunfels 4 years ago and just love it here. Now that our children are grown I have time to come help out at Woods Cycle Country. We have a great group of people to help you with your riding needs. Our showroom is stocked full with motorcycles to ride or race, Watercraft, and ATVs and UTVs for both work and play. Stop by and see us!

J. Sheffield General Manager ![]()
Thanks for taking the time out to visit the employee page of our website. For those of you who want to know a little about me, here goes: I was born in England (just north of London)and I have lived all over the world. I graduated from High School in Lumberton, Texas and 6 days later shipped off to Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood. I traveled all over the world with the Army (including 9 months with the 1st Armored Division in Southeast Asia during operation Desert Storm). I finished my military service on a Monday in 1993 and started work at a small motorcycle dealership located just outside of Fort Hood on a Tuesday.
At this point, the PowerSports industry is all I know. Over the last 18 years I have worked at one of the largest multi-line dealerships in the United States, the second Honda Powerhouse dealership (Honda of Houston) in the nation, and I worked for a corporation that owned 17 dealerships across the country (America's PowerSports). While Woods Cycle Country is not one of the mega flashy dealerships that are all the rage right now, our modest dealership allows us to keep our overhead low, and we pass those savings on to our customers. If you have a question, feel free to ask and I will be happy to tell you what I think. We look forward to seeing you in our dealership sometime soon. |

Rincon Office Manager ![]()
Hi! I have been with Woods Cycle Country since
April 2006. I am fairly new to the
motorcycle business, but I have been in the automotive retail industry for 23 years
(including World Car here in New Braunfels). Even
though I am new to the motorcycle
business, my husband has been a rider for years. I have been married for 26 years to an incredible man
and have one son, Richard, who is 25.
This is great place to work and a fantastic place to shop and visit. It’s never been so easy for me to get
up and drive into work. We're like a big
family here. If you have any questions then stop by the office or just pop in to say “hi”.

Joe Silvernail Sales Manager ![]()
Powersports have always been a part of my life. I practically grew up on two wheels and I’m proud to say that from my first 50cc dirt bike to the ZX6 I ride today, I’ve never had a bike that wasn’t lime green. I graduated from Texas State University with a degree in Business Management and have since turned my enthusiasm for the industry into a career. I’m excited to be a part of the team here at Woods Cycle Country and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else but the Hill Country.

Charlie Henderson Service Manager ![]()
Hi everyone! I’m the new Service Manager at Woods Cycle Country, but I’m not
new to the Woods organization. I started working with Mark Woods at the
Woods Fun Center 17 years ago as a Service Advisor with aspirations to
become a technician. The Woods family gave me the opportunity to pursue my
passion and I became a factory trained technician for Suzuki, Yamaha,
Kawasaki and Bombardier. I worked as a tech at the Fun Center for 8 years
where I gained a lot of experience and technical expertise. I enjoy riding
and wrenching and am the proud owner of a 2009 Kawasaki Concours that I
purchased from Cycle Country. The last 3 years I worked at another
dealership and I missed the family atmosphere here at Woods. I look forward
to providing you with an excellent service experience. Come by and check out
our awesome staff, experienced techs, and knowledgeable service advisors!

Jacob "Mini Blake" Sills Sales Associate ![]()
This profile is unmodified as submitted, and Jacob was on some strong cough
medicine when he composed it.
A five-time (local) award-winning salesman, Always confident and well-dressed, but also remains the rock for the entire group. He has a great fondness for a good glass of scotch whisky, poetry, and his best friend/pet dog Norah, and plays a mean jazz flute. He refers to his fists as Jack Johnson and Tom O'Leary, calls his arms "guns", and is most definitely not afraid to resort to fisticuffs. |

Kelly Garrison Finance ![]()
Hey guys! I do the finance and closings here at the dealership and I love my
job! I haven't been at Woods for long but can tell you we are one big,
happy, and fun family. Before coming to Woods, I worked as a Realtor and
property manager in San Antonio for 6 years. I am originally from Texas but
moved all over the country as a child. I spent most of my time in Dallas and
graduated from Plano Senior High School in 2002. I now call New Braunfels my
home and absolutely love living in the hill country. When I'm not working
you can find me outdoors either hanging out with friends at the river or
lake or taking a road trip to the beach. I have two Jack Russell Terriers,
Dudley and Penny, that are my children and keep me pretty entertained. I
look forward visiting with you and helping you get your new fun toy!

I’ve worked at several other places and must admit
that I
enjoy coming to the office everyday here at Wood’s
Cycle

most
of you but I know your name. Drop by the office and
say

Dan
Purnell Parts Associate ![]()
Hi, I'm Dan. Thanks for visiting our site on the Web.
I have
worked in the recreational industry for the last 3
years, and
before that I was an A.S.E. certified automotive
technician
(for 13 years). My primary job at the dealership is
taking care
of incoming parts calls and making sure we get the
parts
you need. With thousands of different models out
there it can
be a challenge. Between calls I take care of all the
shipping
and receiving. If you have any questions, feel free to
give
me a call at (830) 606-9828 or e-mail me at the
address listed
above.

Stephen
Laurence Parts Associate / Online Parts Sales ![]()
Hello. My name is Stephen Laurence and I do a
little bit of everything in the parts and
accessories department. I make auctions for our inventory online (usually using eBay), so you can find
some great deals there. I just graduated
with a degree in Philosophy from Texas State University and I'd love to talk about anything from
motorsports to predicational paradox and from
ethics to combustion chambers. Give me a shout if you need anything for your bikes, ATV's, or
UTV's.

Joseph Roberts Parts Associate
Hey y’all, I’m Joseph Roberts, JR for short, and I grew up with PowerSports.
At too young of an age probably, I began spending any free time possible on
the water riding personal watercraft. I have a diverse and expansive
knowledge of Jet-Skis, Waverunners, Sea-Doos and all of the others. When I’m
not at work, I work to hone my skills as a professional racer. I eat, sleep,
breathe and train watercraft racing. I’m currently #2 in the world and left
this season disappointed for not bringing the #1 home to Texas. I look
forward to helping everyone so make sure to look for me for any watercraft
questions.
