Meet The Team

Delta Mitchell, Owner/CEO

In 2001, I joined the Market USA team as their Network Administrator. I really had no knowledge of the industry or even what promotional products were. Within 3 months of joining the team, I found myself in Nashville TN working my first onsite pop up store. After that I was committed! I quickly immersed myself into learning all aspects of the business and how I could contribute to the growth and success of this great company. In 2008 it was a privilege to become the General Manager, where I was able to learn the other side of the business. This was not my favorite part, as I loved the sales and the products, but nonetheless I jumped right in. Then in 2010, I was given the opportunity to purchase Market USA and it was without hesitation that I said YES!! I look back now and realize that God had a huge plan that I wasn’t aware of and I am very thankful that I was given the opportunity to be a part of this team. We are very blessed and I give God the praise, honor, and glory for putting me here and I thank each and every person along the way that has supported me. I love this company and I am so excited to be a member of such an amazing industry!

I am also fortunate that I have a wonderful husband that works alongside me every day. We have 2 beautiful girls, Hannah and Brittney that help as well. I am an active member in my church, where I am a part of our praise and worship team. When I am not at work, we enjoy as much time as possible at our other home in Myrtle Beach, boating on the lake or just hanging with the family.

Jay Mitchell, VP & CFO

Market USA has been a vital part of our family since 2001, when Delta first started working with the company. I started out helping her with some of the IT needs for the offsite conventions while I was a full-time IT Manager for another local company. Then in 2010 when Market USA actually became our company, I took over all of the financial aspects, as well as the warehouse/logistical side of the business operations. It’s always fun seeing the wide variety of products that our customers order and to know that we provided something that helped them advertise and further promote their business. Our team is like family and it’s great to know that we are always there to help each other out. We thank the Lord each day for all the blessings He gives to each of us at Market USA.

When I am not at the office, I am a school bus driver for Henry County Public Schools as well as an IT Consultant. I have been involved in the volunteer fire service for over 20 years, as well as the sound tech in our local church for many years. We are blessed with two wonderful daughters, Hannah and Brittney, who have grown up involved in many of the projects and summer events with Market USA. Our family jumps at every opportunity we get to hit the road and travel to our home away from home at the beach or any other destination that we can travel to.

Tara Riggan, Customer Service Support Specialist

As a Customer Support Specialist I keep the online stores up to date, as well as prepare online order requests for processing. My favorite part of the job is my coworkers and seeing all the cool swag our customers order and discovering what their favorite pieces are.

When I am not at work I enjoy discovering new outdoor adventures. In the winter months the outdoors are tough, so I bring the mud inside and throw pottery on my wheel. You will never see my pieces in an art gallery, and my husband and kids are very convincing when they say how great they all are. But that’s OK; I enjoy the creativity.
