Mark Singleton, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Rudolph Foods Company has been newly appointed to St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund’s Board of Directors. Singleton’s appointment is a result of the passion he has for the industry.

“It’s my hope that my experience in the food trucking industry will add a valuable perspective for the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund’s Board and draw attention to the truck drivers and their families who have financial needs due to current medical problems,” shared Singleton. “In my tenure at Rudolph Foods, the company has always demonstrated its willingness to serve each facet of our industry, including the trucking community, and I look forward to serving this organization in a unique way, as I have strived to do in my current board position with Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund.”
As the vice president of sales and marketing at Rudolph Foods Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of pork rinds, Singleton has accumulated diverse experience in sales, marketing and business development. Joining the company in 2003, Singleton has helped to grow the Rudolph Foods brands, including Southern Recipe, Southern Recipe Small Batch, Pepe’s, Lee’s pork rinds and Gaslamp Popcorn.
