Prior to joining NFI Parts, Barnes held leadership positions in parts, service, and training at heavy-duty OEMs and supplier organizations.

“It is both humbling and an honor to take this position,” Barnes said. “The MCI brand is such an iconic part of the motorcoach industry and there have been many legendary MCI sales leaders over the decades.
