They are incredibly dedicated to the brand, passionate, loyal, and
it shows in what we've built. Over the past 18 years, they have
accomplished so much, despite the challenges, because nothing worth
attaining is ever easy. I've known Zach
Luke for over 20 years, and I'm confident in his leadership
style, his passion for the brand, and his willingness to do what it
takes to achieve our goals and continue building value. Zach truly
has the 'extra gear' to make things happen. He's committed to
developing people, helping them be their best, and building a great

it's all about the journey, and I can attest that the effort put
into living out your passion is where the true reward lies.
Rockford Fosgate has influenced my life since I was a teenager, so
playing a pivotal role in writing the next chapters of this
brand—working alongside the talented team we have today—isn't just
a responsibility, it's a privilege. I'm committed to honoring the
legacy of those who came before me and ensuring that Rockford
Fosgate continues to thrive."
