# Melrose Welcomes Eric Peterson as Dakotas & Minnesota Territory Rep

 By  [Melrose](https://blog.melroseintl.com/melrose-international-blog/author/melrose)  ·   1 minute read

Melrose International is excited to announce the addition of **Eric Peterson** to our national sales team. Eric will represent **North Dakota, South Dakota, and parts of Minnesota**, bringing nearly a decade of experience, deep regional knowledge, and a family legacy in the industry.

![Image of Eric Peterson](https://blog.melroseintl.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Eric%20Peterson_New%20Rep%20for%20Dakotas%20%26%20Minnesota.jpg?width=768&height=432&name=Eric%20Peterson_New%20Rep%20for%20Dakotas%20%26%20Minnesota.jpg)

Eric has spent the last **eight years with Sullivans**, following in the footsteps of his father, **Tom Peterson**, who represented the same territory for over 30 years. Stepping into the role after Tom’s retirement, Eric has built strong relationships across the region and developed a reputation for being approachable, informed, and genuinely committed to his customers’ success.

*“What I enjoy most is the relationships,”* Eric shared. *“There’s nothing better than seeing a smile and a wave when I walk into a store.”*

Known for his **low-pressure, customer-first approach**, Eric brings practical insight and honest recommendations, pointing buyers to the products that are performing well in the territory.

*“I’m excited to introduce Melrose to new customers—and bring my existing accounts along to experience the line,”* he said.

As for his first impressions of the Melrose line?

*“To be honest, I like it all so far. Great variety and quality across the board.”*
