"It has been the honor of my career to lead Rockline," said Randy Rudolph. "What makes me proudest is not just the company we've built, but the values-based culture that has been created. Rob understands those values to his core and is the right person to lead Rockline into its next chapter with clarity and conviction."

"Our values are the foundation of our brand promise of being people who make it right — and that promise extends not only to our customers but to our people, and our communities. I'm honored to carry that legacy forward and excited about what's ahead for everyone at Rockline."
