I wanted to let my friends and customers know that April 23rd was my last day at Barnes Harley-Davidson. Most of you don’t know but a month ago I was laid off due to COVID 19 and finally let go this week, it is an uncertain time for our business and other factors also contributed to this result. I appreciate my 10 years with Harley-Davidson, I love this brand and what it represents and will always be a Harley rider and enthusiast. If I am ever gonna work for Harley-Davidson again? I don’t know, at this time this is the most honest answer I have. But I do know that I’m excited to see this next chapter in my life unfolds. At this moment there are ideas and projects but I do not have a new job yet, with the pandemic not many places are hiring and society as a whole is not fully functional so I am giving it time and enjoying this precious opportunity to spend time with my wife and kids. I appreciate all the people that in someway participated in this journey, co-workers and customers, my friends at MMI, BrazilCustom, Rio Harley-Davidson, Harley-Davidson Winnipeg, Gasoline Alley Harley-Davidson of Kelowna, Barnes Harley-Davidson Langley and many other builders, artists and shops, I learned lots and hopefully was able to teach some as well. 🤘🏻
