Meet the Owners

Gearhead Coffee is officially under new ownership!

Please join us in welcoming Jonathan and Brittany Baughman as the new owners of Gearhead Coffee.

Before looking ahead, it’s important to pause and recognize the foundation this brand was built on. We are incredibly appreciative of Jeff and Shantelle Schulz. First and foremost, for their friendship, and for the vision, passion and hard work that brought Gearhead Coffee to life. What began as an idea grew into the brand and community it is today because of their dedication and belief in something bigger than coffee. Their commitment to being customer-centric and relationship-driven set the standard, and that legacy will continue forward. Jonathan and Brittany are honored to carry the torch, remaining deeply grateful for both current and future customers who make Gearhead so special.

For Jonathan, this transition isn’t just a business venture.  It’s a natural extension of a lifelong passion. His love for the automotive world began at an early age, driven by a deep appreciation for vehicles, craftsmanship, and the culture that surrounds them. With over a decade of professional industry experience, Jonathan has cultivated partnerships and led marketing efforts for industry-leading brands. That same passion for quality, performance and people is what drew Jonathan and Brittany to Gearhead Coffee.

“My career has been filled with so much gratitude for the people of the automotive industry. While my passion for all things automotive has always been a driving factor, the partnerships that have turned into friendships have been the pinnacle of my 'why'. It’s the people who show up day in and day out that make this industry so remarkable. With Gearhead, my mission is to serve this amazing industry one cup at a time and give back to all who have helped fuel my passion. I hope that you will allow the Gearhead Coffee team to #fuelyourday as a token of our appreciation for being the glue that holds this industry together.” - Jonathan Baughman, Owner

Together, Jonathan and Brittany are committed to honoring what makes Gearhead Coffee special while continuing to grow the brand with intention, authenticity, and heart. 

The mission remains the same:
Great coffee
🤝 Strong community
🏁 A lifestyle built around gratitude for the people who make it all possible

We’re thankful for the past, excited for the future, and grateful to every person who has supported Gearhead Coffee along the way.

Here’s to the road forward—and the coffee that fuels it.
