Shocking news has hit the industry today as long-time Horizon Hobby employee and Losi/TLR brand President, Bill Jeric, has announced that he is no longer an employee of Horizon Hobby. Jeric, an avid racer himself, is known worldwide for his participation as a racer, businessman, and even pit guy (as shown in the photo) for the Team Losi Racing drivers in R/C.

Jeric made the following statement on Facebook:

"Hello, Facebook friends. I want to let you know that as of today I am no longer an employee of Horizon Hobby. Although not my choice to leave, I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for the 12+ years I spent there. I have confidence in what the future holds for me and look forward to the next career steps in an industry that I truly love. Stay tuned!"

We were shocked to hear the news of TLR's designer Dan Hissam leaving shortly after the IFMAR World Championships in Argentina, and now the departure of Losi President Bill Jeric. These are not the only changes that have taken place at the Horizon Hobby headquarters lately, and we have to wonder what the future plans for Horizon, TLR, and Jeric will hold.
