Let's build

Let's Talk

Paul has a passion for the industry that began with his bachelor's degree in Marketing and Industrial Distribution from UAB in 2008. He became a partner at Caliber by 2011 and took control of the company in 2016. Multiple vendor partners have expressed that Paul has been their #1 Sales performer in the US in both growth and volume. Caliber has maintained consistent double-digit growth trends throughout his leadership tenure. 

With nearly two decades of industry experience, Ben has helped position Covering Force Sales as a premier manufacturers' rep agency serving the Southeast. After joining CFS in 2008 and acquiring the company in 2021, he has continued to build on the agency's legacy, which began in 1988. Under Ben's leadership, the agency has expanded its team from three to five reps and increased its footprint from one state to four, delivering broader market coverage and stronger customer relationships across the region.

With a deep family background in technical sales and industrial market development, Chris has spent over 15-years connecting top-tier industrial manufacturers with high-value Gulf Coast distributors and end-users.

Shortly after graduating from the University of Alabama with a degree in Marketing and Advertising, Chris began his career in the field, working in outside sales for Marine Rigging in Mobile, Alabama. Recognizing the power of combining that foundational industry insight with sharp business acumen, he returned to UA to earn his MBA in Finance in 2010.

After graduation, he relocated to Houston, the heart of the industrial market, to launch RiggRep. Built on the principles of transparent communication, deep technical product knowledge, and long-term partnership, RiggRep acts as a seamless extension of the manufacturers it represents.

Under Chris’s leadership, RiggRep's team gives industrial brands a dedicated, local presence with a proven track record of driving market share, maintaining technical expertise, and delivering measurable ROI for manufacturer partners.
