	Ray Biba - Sales - MD, DC and DE Ray managed inventory control, accounts receivable and mail order entry and customer service departments for a large retail/mail order company. He was part of a two-man department that successfully implemented a computer network system and a new point of sale/accounting software system. In this position he developed programming skills, but more importantly, developed a thorough understanding of the infrastructure of a successful musical instrument retailer. His experience with one of the largest mail order catalog and retail businesses in the nation gives him significant insight into successful strategies for retailers of any size. He later moved into a sales position with a broadcast supply company. He credits his selling success to the fact that he was at ease with both technology and software, and was able to impart that knowledge effectively to create confidence in the products and their integration.
	Pete Petty - Sales - Virginia and DC With years of experience in musical merchandise retailing and professional sound installation, Pete brings a unique insight into the keys to success for distributors of audio gear.
