Former Shoei national sales manager passes away
Mike Schield, a former national sales manager for Shoei Safety Helmet, died March 14 at his Cedaredge, Colo. home. Schield, 54, had been fighting severe health issues, according to a company press release.

In 1992, Schield pioneered the Shoei University Seminar program, a national dealer training program that has served as a foundation of Shoei’s sales and marketing efforts in training dealers on new products.
