A new series introduced at skucon this year were 10-minute segments called “skucon stories.” Outlandish, bizarre, risky, and hilarious, skucon stories are stories told from the trenches by some of the most experienced pros in the business.
Steve Rone is very proud to serve as the National Sales Manager of Promotional Products trailblazer Snugz USA, based in Salt Lake City UT. He holds a BFA in Fine Arts from the University Of Memphis, and is basically just an artist/creative that likes to Storysell. He still lives in Memphis, where he learned the Grit and Grind mentality that serves him well in the Promo world.
2019 will mark 30 years in the promotional realm that he fell into because industry supplier World Wide Line was based in his small town of Covington, TN. He met his wife, Tracy, at the Dallas PPAI show and they have been married for 23 years and have 2 boys in college in the South.
Prior to his sales role at Snugz, Steve was the VP of Sales and Marketing for World Wide and also a part of the Norwood sales team as a Midwest Rep for the Barlow Group based in Los Angeles. He has served on the board of Promotional Products Association of the Mid-South (PPAMS) and has volunteered for several PPAI committees.
