Before joining Theory Professional, Unkenholz aligned himself with Bormann Marketing, an independent commercial manufacturers' representative, where he successfully promoted various AV brands, including Theory, across the TOLA (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas) region. His transition back to Theory Professional is a strategic move; utilizing his familiarity with the brand and its offerings, he aims to expand their national presence while enhancing customer integration strategies.
