Tempe, Ariz. - Rockford Corporation is pleased to announce that John B. Parker has been named National Sales Manager for Fosgate Audionics. John brings more than 15 years of home theater audio experience to Rockford, most recently as the Director of Sales for James Loudspeaker (Lake Havasu City, Ariz.), specializing in high-end custom home theater. John's past experience includes six years as an independent representative for Yamaha Electronics, sales management positions with Carver Corporation, JBL, and also two different assignments within Rockford Corp., one of which included Hafler Pro and Home Audio. John will be responsible for home theater and consumer electronic sales as well as product development for Fosgate Audionics, the recently acquired brand founded by Jim Fosgate.

"I was with Rockford Fosgate from the very beginning...actually day one as the company's first national sales manager," explains Parker. "I know how much this company wanted to succeed in the early years and seeing how it has matured into the market leader today made me want to be a part of it all over again. The opportunity Fosgate Audionics offered as the new leader in home theater audio technology was just too good to pass up. I'm looking forward to further establishing the Fosgate Audionics name into the home theater audio marketplace by launching some new, innovative and value-oriented products.”

Dan McLeod, Rockford's V.P. Sales, says, "John brings a wealth of experience to Rockford that will help successfully re-introduce Fosgate Audionics. We're very happy to have him aboard...again."
