We Put Direct Mail to Work

bt_bb_section_bottom_section_coverage_image

At JHL Digital Direct, we specialize in high-precision direct mail production and complex marketing logistics. Since 1985, and under our current leadership since 2014, we have built a national reputation for mastering the technical and operational challenges that other providers avoid.

We serve a diverse national client base across key sectors, including nonprofits, higher education, healthcare, financial services, and retail. While direct mail marketing remains our core expertise, our scalable infrastructure extends seamlessly into custom packaging and fulfillment services.

What defines JHL is our commitment to engineering solutions for the industry’s most demanding projects. From complex variable data processing to custom-engineered production machinery, we provide tailored solutions for unique mailing requirements. While we efficiently handle high-volume standard mail, our ability to execute complex, multi-channel mailings is what sets us apart.

Our organization operates with a high-performance team of 45 direct mail professionals. Our culture is rooted in independence and cross-functional accountability, ensuring that every project benefits from a lean, agile, and highly experienced workforce.

We are a family-owned business that prioritizes trust and professional ownership. By fostering an environment of autonomy rather than micromanagement, our team takes personal pride in every piece of mail that leaves our facility. This culture of excellence is baked into our DNA.

Since our inception, JHL has focused on the intersection of human creativity and technical problem-solving. We are proud of our heritage as a premier Wisconsin-based mail house and are excited to lead the future of integrated print and mail. Whether you are a brand, a print partner, or a future team member, we invite you to experience the JHL difference.

Let’s drive results together.

Meet some of the
folks at JHL

Jim Felhofer

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 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, President

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 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

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.
