John Caron has been assigned to cover northern Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arkansas; Sherrie English looks after southern Texas and Louisiana; Geoffrey Haefner covers Pennsylvania and Delaware, and Scott Mahoney takes care of Georgia and Florida.

Supporting these field wholesalers are Brian Campbell, Justin Edell and Dan Holloway.
