National Powersport Auctions has hired Brian Wood as the Territory Sales Manager for the Southeast territory. NPA’s TSM is handling Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. Wood will be working closely with Regional Sales Manager, Dusty Krepp, and other territory sales managers to get up to speed. In fact, you may have already seen him in some of your dealerships.
“We are excited to have Brian on board and for him to maintain current relationships and begin building new ones in this territory,” says Mike Murray, Vice President of Sales. “Adding Brian’s knowledge to the team helps dealers see the additional possibilities with NPA for their pre-owned inventory.” Wood’s extensive knowledge and sales experience are valuable assets in his new role with NPA.
He has been in the powersports industry for more than 30 years, starting as a parts associate while in high school. His sales career started when he joined the sales team at Tucker Rocky in the early 90s in Kansas City. When an opportunity came to move to warmer weather in 1998, he joined Parts Unlimited as a rep in Florida, where he worked until 2017. Since then, Wood has been with KYMCO USA as a District Sales Manager covering Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi.
Along the way he has raced everything from personal watercraft to performance sportbikes. He has competed in both motocross and GNCC off-road events in past years and still tries to attend as many races and rallies as possible.
“My passion and love for the powersports industry have led me here, and NPA allows me to experience a new and exciting segment of the industry that furthers my career,” states Woods. “I am excited to be working with dealers to help grow and expand their businesses.”
