With Bruce Eberle's blessing and a handful of clients under her belt, she and Timothy Webster formed BMW Direct.

As a true leader and direct mail professional, she has been able to transfer this enthusiasm to her clients, enabling them to achieve their goals.

	Timothy Webster, Vice President After working as a copywriting Executive at several direct mail firms, Timothy helped start BMW Direct with Kimberly in 2002. Timothy's hard-hitting and emotional copy has made him one of the most gifted copywriters in the business. Timothy has an uncanny ability to synchronize with the client and match their "voice" with their direct mail copy. It is up to Timothy to precisely convey to potential donors the goals and objectives of the organization along with setting your group apart from the competition. Articulating that unique "voice" is his specialty. He contends that if the passion in his copy can match the passion of his client, the letters will successfully connect with potential donors -- thus making their direct mail program a success. Loyalty to the client's vision is always Timothy's top priority. Timothy has an under-graduate from Princeton University and a graduate degree from Notre Dame University. Timothy, his wife Elizabeth and their son Sebastian reside in Washington, D.C.

	Jordan Gehrke, Director of Development A Michigan native and one of the up and coming political stars of the future, Jordan also got his start in conservative politics at a very young age. He has worked on as many campaigns in his teens and early 20's as some seasoned consultants in Washington have worked on in their lifetime! Jordan's knack for "creative political strategy" coupled with his passion to the conservative cause has made him invaluable to the BMW team. Because of his wide array of talents, Jordan not only serves as Director of Development, recruiting some of our nation's most key Republican races along with patriotic and conservative leaning advocacy organizations - but he has also written some of the agency's most successful direct mail packages. Jordan lives on Capitol Hill so he always has his finger on the pulse of "what's going on" in our Nation's Capitol.
