Scott's Story
Life
After 32.5 years with GM, I retired and started working for Harley-Davidson as a Motorcycle Platform Director. I believe that this job is what I was meant to do. I'm using everything that I ever learned from my parents, my friends, my family, in college, graduate school, business, engineering, working on all kinds of car/engine/technology programs, working on legal cases, leading teams, and life experiences to create something new from the ground up. I think that it's kind of ironic that even though I loved motorcycles since I knew what they were, my dad forbade me to ride a motorcycle (as some of you know, (Kirk, Ernie, Bob) he wasn't 100% effective in this regard) and now my professional life is dedicated to designing and building motorcycles for Harley-Davidson.

After three attempts, I also finally figured out the marriage thing - it's been working for over 20 years now. And, as I had always hoped, my kids have grown up, moved out, and are doing it better, doing it sooner, and are happier than their parents. I hope that all of you have your own personal definition of success, and figured out the secrets of life long before I did - to all who read this, congratulations on your successes, and best wishes for a long, prosperous, and happy life. Hoping to see you all at the 40th. Scott
