MTA Announces Two New Hires and a Promotion

MTA Distributing has added two new regional sales managers and a promotion in the Northeast Region to ring in the New Year.

L-R: Dan Hollingsworth, Russell Harper and Jesse Sargent

MTA Distributing has added two new regional sales managers and a promotion in the Northeast Region to ring in the New Year.

Avid street, dirt and snow rider Dan Hollingsworth is the new West Regional Sales Manager for MTA. An eight-year military veteran, Hollingsworth started his motorcycle industry career in 1998, working the parts counter at a local KTM/Polaris dealership before working parts and service positions at several multi-line dealerships. Most recently, Hollingsworth was with Parts Unlimited for the past 11 years.

After a stint as Sullivans and several other distributors, 25-year industry veteran Russell Harper is now calling on MTA dealers in the Alabama area.

“I’m excited to come into the company at a time when they are obtaining some new premium brands,” says Harper. “The combination of new brands as well as the strength of existing brands will allow me to become a strong partner with our dealer base in Alabama.”

MTA also announced that former sales rep Jesse Sargent has been promoted to Northeast RSM. Prior to joining MTA in July 2017, Sargent was national sales manager at Mustang Motorcycle Products from 2014-17. He was with Yamaha as a field sales manager and warranty administration analyst.
