Kari R ‐ West/Midwest Territory Manager

My name is Kari, and I‘m the West/Midwest Territory Manager.

I have been in the promo industry since 2001 ‐ that‘s nearly 24 years of working with distributors!

When I‘m not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. And while my two left feet pretty much limit my own participation in sports, you can often find me at gymnastic centers, ballparks or hockey arenas watching my 5 grandkids playing theirs. I also have a passion for live music, so attending concerts is something I do often. Because I am on the road a lot for work and for play, I do enjoy my quiet time at home as well … settling in with a good book, working in the yard or having a cocktail by the fire.

Something Surprising: I have only been on one cruise, and it was on a yacht in the Caribbean for a week.

Favorite Award:I love the Vega Award which incorporates bubbles as a design feature. When it comes to crystal, ”bubbles“ are usually thought of as imperfections. But, to me, they’re a reminder that as humans we are not perfect. Our individual quirks or imperfections make us unique and beautiful.
