Steve is our ideal choice.”
"I look forward to leading Rockler, a family-owned company rich in both heritage and reputation,” says Singer. “Having started my own career at my family’s direct marketing business, along with helping many companies define and execute paths of sustained growth, my experience offers me a unique perspective. I am really excited about adding that to Rockler’s bright future.”
