Director Biography - Jean Pierre Kathoefer

My name is Jean Pierre Kathoefer, but everyone calls me JP. Originally from Germany, I am a motorcyclist, videographer, and community-builder living in NYC. I founded the New York dirt bike group Dirty Gents, and a New York ambassador and host for the global motorcycle network MotoSocial.

As a videographer, I create motorcycle-related content for social media outlets, both for myself and in collaboration with moto brands. My YouTube and Instagram feeds, under @johnnypuetz, highlight my own motorcycle adventures and a variety of ongoing film projects.
