ROCKFORD CORPORATION ANNOUNCES ZACH LUKE
PROMOTED TO ROCKFORD FOSGATE NATIONAL SALES MANAGER
In Addition, Ronnie Brashear Will Move from CrimeStopper Sales Manager To Fill Luke’s Former Position as Rockford Fosgate Regional Sales Manager
TEMPE, Ariz. – July 6, 2016 – Rockford Corp. (www.rockfordcorp.com), the industry leader in
high-performance audio systems, is proud to announce that it has promoted Zach Luke to Rockford
Fosgate national sales manager, effective immediately. In addition, Ronnie Brashear, formerly
CrimeStopper sales manager, will fill Luke’s vacated position as Rockford Fosgate regional sales
manager.
“Zach is a successful sales manager because he focuses on our customers,” said Theresa
Anthony, Rockford vice president - sales and marketing. “Over the past seven years, he has
embedded himself within our specialty dealer network, learned the needs of our reps in the field,
and has generated highly effective sales plans. In his new role as national sales manager, Zach will
manage the daily activities of the sales team while he crafts and implements strategies to meet
Rockford’s goals for the mobile, motorsports, and marine business channels.”
Luke, who joined Rockford in December 2003, said, “Rockford Fosgate has been a part of my life
since I was fourteen years old. It’s been with me through every experience and I have watched the
brand grow tremendously during my time here. We are the gatekeepers of our brand, from our
dedicated sales team, to our phenomenal rep network, to our distributors, and customers out in the
field. To have the ability to represent the Diamond R in this fashion is an honor and I am more than
ready to continue the legacy.”
For more than 12 years, Luke has been a passionate brand ambassador for Rockford Fosgate. He
joined Rockford as a product marketing manager and quickly established himself as a voice within
Rockford with his knowledge of the mobile industry and his loyalty to the Rockford Fosgate brand.
This lead to his promotion in 2005 to director of marketing, and most recently to regional sales
manager in November 2008.
In his new position, Brashear will be working alongside Rockford Fosgate Regional Sales Manager
Greg Cobbs. Together the two will split responsibility for the U.S. market.
