AHEAD, the headwear, apparel and accessories company based in New Bedford, Mass., recently announced the addition of three new sales representatives.

• Bryan Sterling, Northern California/Nevada. Sterling is thrilled to be returning to AHEAD—and the same territory—where he enjoyed a successful sales tenure for 10 years beginning in 1997. For the past six years, Sterling worked as a district sales manager for Yamaha Golf-Car Company, and in 2009 was named the company’s Salesman of the Year. He has been a member of the PGA of America since May 1990. A native of Kansas, Sterling resides in Galt, Calif.
• Ryan Nolz, Los Angeles/Orange County/Central California. Based in Hermosa Beach, Calif., Nolz is an industry veteran with a proven track record of providing a high level of service to the golf retail business in his territories. Nolz also works for Cutter & Buck, a sister company of AHEAD, where he was named the 2011 Salesperson of the Year.
• Zachary Ledvina, Colorado/Utah. A native of New Bedford, Mass.—AHEAD’s home base—Ledvina is new to the company’s sales representative team. He has been serving as an account executive in AHEAD’s service department, where he worked with many of the company’s largest customers. Ledvina previously was employed in a similar capacity with Puma. He will be relocating from Massachusetts to the Denver area in mid-September.
