the business to a family out of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Gary Weaver, majority owner, brings to Helena Cycle Center more than
35 years of business experience as majority owner of Weaver Precast,

mentor to his daughter, Janessa Barrell and her husband,
Justin Barrell, who will be acting as President and General Manager running the
daily operations of Helena Cycle Center.
Janessa comes to Helena Cycle Center with a bachelor’s degree in business
from Penn State University and extensive experience working in the family
business for the last 13 years. She has a strong background in sales and
marketing and will be looking to bring that to Helena Cycle Center. Justin comes
to Helena Cycle Center with a degree in Criminal Justice and served in Law
Enforcement for 4 years in Pennsylvania. He served in the Marine Corps for 8
years and also has experience in the powersports industry, where he worked as
a Service Manager at a dealership for a short time.
