Meet Cody Ertman

Media & Public Relations Director

Cody was born and raised in Lead, South Dakota, where his adventurous spirit took root. After high school, he attended Black Hills State University, where he majored in the art of having a good time.

Since 2020, Cody has been an integral part of the Buffalo Chip family as the Media and Public Relations Manager, with the upcoming rally marking his fifth. But his connection to the Chip runs deep, stretching back to his teenage years when he first experienced the thrill of motorcycle revs and its epic concerts. Since then, Cody’s love for music has only grown – he even plays the bass guitar in a cover band!

Cody takes great pride in assisting press and content creators in capturing the essence of the Buffalo Chip experience. Witnessing these storytellers immerse themselves in the Chip’s spirit as they transform their work into vibrant celebrations of freedom, camaraderie, and unforgettable memories brings him the most joy.
