COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—USA Shooting has officially hired Buddy DuVall (Gainsville, Ga.) as the new Director of Marketing and Fundraising for the U.S. Shooting Team. DuVall replaces Leaha Wirth, who resigned in September to pursue a position with Armor Holdings.
“I am extremely pleased to have Buddy join our staff,” Robert Mitchell, CEO of USA Shooting said. “His experience as a pistol shooter and long involvement with USA Shooting coupled with his sales and marketing experience will allow him to step into the position and become immediately effective. It is rare to find an employee so well qualified for a position in a unique market.”
A resident athlete and National Team member in the ’80s and ’90s, DuVall graduated from the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs with a business degree in Marketing. With more than 15 years of sales and marketing experience in the diagnostics testing industry, DuVall recently worked with American Bio Medica Corporation (ABMC) as a Regional Sales Manager in Atlanta, Ga.
Buddy rejoins USA Shooting with a lot of enthusiasm for his new position. “This opportunity with USAS is a great fit for me personally and professionally. It’s a good feeling to be involved in something which I am so committed,” DuVall said.
“We are confident Buddy will serve both our sponsors and our athletes well,” Mitchell said. “I have known Buddy since he was a resident athlete at the Olympic Training Center and have yet to meet anyone who didn’t immediately warm to his outgoing and friendly personality. The entire staff is excited to have him as a member of the USAS Team.”
Besides the impending show schedule, Buddy has said that maintaining and expanding sponsor relationships is a priority. “I also feel it’s necessary to enhance the visibility of our sport, while improving the public’s perception,” DuVall said.
USA Shooting is recognized by the U.S. Olympic Committee as the National Governing Body for Olympic Shooting sports. For more information on the USA Shooting Team, please log on to www.usashooting.org, or contact Sara Greenlee at 719-866-4896.
