We Put Direct Mail to Work

bt_bb_section_bottom_section_coverage_image

At JHL, we believe in doing things differently, and doing them well. We’re a direct mail production company with a passion for solving the “hard stuff.” Since our early beginnings in 1985, and under current ownership since 2014, we’ve built a reputation for tackling the challenging, high-precision work that others shy away from.

We specialize in direct mail production, serving a national customer base that includes nonprofits, colleges & universities, associations, publishers, healthcare organizations, financial services, agencies, and retailers. While direct mail is our core focus, our capabilities also extend seamlessly to packaging and fulfillment projects.

What sets us apart is our commitment to solving the toughest challenges—whether it’s complex data processing, custom-engineered machinery, or innovative production solutions tailored to unique project needs. We do plenty of straight forward direct mail, but it’s our ability to handle challenging mailings that sets us apart.

JHL runs lean but strong with a tight-knit team of 45 direct mail professionals. Our team culture is built on independence, cross-functional responsibility, and accountability. Everyone wears multiple hats, and we embrace that.

We’re proud to be family-friendly and strongly believe that when people feel trusted and supported, they do their best work. Our environment encourages ownership and pride in what we do. We don’t micromanage, and we don’t need to. That’s part of our DNA.

Since our beginning, JHL has always been about creativity, people, and problem-solving. We’re proud of where we’ve come from and even more excited about where we’re headed. Whether you’re a customer, partner, or future team member, welcome to JHL.

Let’s make something great together.

Meet some of the
folks at JHL

Jim Felhofer

Jim has been with JHL since 2006, serving as sales director. What he likes most about JHL is “the entrepreneurial spirit that enables us to adapt quickly to meet our customers’ needs.” When he’s not drawing up innovative ways to help customers grow their businesses, you will find Jim engaging in one of his passions which include cycling and recording music (but not at the same time). He and his wife Diane have two sons, Jordan and Ethan.

Dan Topel

Dan joined JHL in 2015, bringing with him over two decades of experience and acumen in direct mail sales and business development. Dan was recently wed to his wife Mary – so recently that “she still laughs at my jokes,” he notes. Together they have five young-adult children, and Mary gave him two granddaughters as a wedding present. At home in Mt. Morris, Ill., you might find Dan out in the yard landscaping, or perhaps savoring a liverwurst and grape jelly sandwich.

John Leek

“My job is the catch all guy, all the way from shoveling to planning,” which is how John describes the role he’s had at JHL since 1992. He’s stuck around, he says, because he really enjoys working with JHL’s team. Outside of work, John is an adrenaline freak who enjoys shredding fresh powder in places like Alta, Utah; tearing up the trails at the American Birkebeiner ski race; and crushing hills on his mountain bike. All of which causes great concern for his wife, Kathy, and daughters Ashley and Natalie.

Serena Menge

Serena has served as Project Manager for JHL since 2003. Among the many things she likes about JHL are its “flexibility and problem solving in a team environment.” Teamwork is central to Serena’s favorite activity outside of work, which is watching youth sports. “I love to see development and the passion to get better, or just playing around on a team to make friends,” she says. Her children Justice, Jack and Jai Dee provide her and her husband, Paul, plenty of opportunity to indulge that passion.

Mike Tans

JHL is delighted to welcome Mike, who jumped straight into print estimating, sales and management from UW-Platteville nearly 30 years ago and hasn’t looked back. He likes that JHL affords its team members “the freedom to get the task done the best way possible.” Off hours, you might find Mike gardening, wood working or cooking at the partially solar-powered home he shares with his wife, Gabrielle, and their rescue cat, Thalia.

Amanda Middleton

Amanda joins the JHL team with a decade of print and mail experience. With her knowledge of the industry she was able to jump right in and help the customer care and sales team. “What I love most about working with JHL is helping our clients on projects with concept ideas to postal regulations to logistics of making it a reality.” When not on the phone or at her computer helping clients you will find Amanda and her husband enjoying life traveling around the state or having friends and family visit at their home.

Dan Krueger

With 15 years of experience working in alumni relations and annual giving, including seven years as a JHL customer, Dan joined our staff to lead our JHL Advance division. He will be working with advancement offices at colleges, universities and private schools on their direct mail and fundraising needs. Dan grew up in the Milwaukee area and is a longtime Brewers fan. When not watching baseball, you can find him watering his backyard garden with water from his 600-gallon rain barrel set-up. Dan and his wife, Leandra, have three children, Aria and twins, Lyric and Bryce.
