Nashville, TN, Aug. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) ("American Rebel" or the "Company"), the creator of American Rebel Beer (www.americanrebelbeer.com), and branded safes, personal security and self-defense products and apparel, announces the appointment of beverage industry veteran Todd Porter to serve as President of American Rebel Beverages, LLC; a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Rebel Holdings. Mr. Porter will be leading the consumer product beverage division, based in the Nashville, Tennessee metro area, assuming P&L responsibility in addition to spearheading the division’s manufacturing, sales and marketing and strategic growth strategy including additional beverage production extensions that align with America’s Patriotic Brand – American Rebel.
“Todd’s 24+ years of experience in retail, wholesale and small business management not only make him unbelievably qualified to be president of American Rebel Beverages, he is also a veteran of our military, which makes him the perfect person to champion America’s Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, Stand Your Ground Beer,” said American Rebel Chief Executive Officer Andy Ross. “We clicked from day one. He gets me, he gets the brand and he’s ready to get after it.”
Porter most recently served as the General Manager of Veterans United Craft Brewery, an independent veteran-owned brewery based in Jacksonville gaining valuable experience related to the production and manufacturing of beer from overseeing the day-to-day operations. A majority of his 24+ years in the consumer product and the beverage industry has been focused on sales, business development, market expansion, marketing and distribution with on and off-premise responsibility including retail accounts in food, club, drug, mass and convenience store chains.
“I am thrilled to become a part of the team,” said American Rebel Beverages President Todd Porter. “Leading with honor at American Rebel Beverages encompasses more than simply creating exceptional beer; it involves respecting the legacy of the Constitution with each pour and striving to unite all Americans for a better future. CEO Andy Ross and his team have developed a remarkable American creation – a patriotic beer designed to foster love of country. I am impressed by the strong foundation we have established, and the positive feedback received from distributors.”
“It’s been a long search and vetting process, but when you’re going after a $110+ billion-dollar market, it’s very important to find the person with the right skill set,” said American Rebel COO Corey Lambrecht. “Todd is the right leader to continue to drive the growth and expansion of American Rebel Light Beer.”
Todd Porter’s career in the beverage industry began on a beer truck, then stints as an Account Manager/District Manager, Specialty Portfolio Manager, Sales Manager and National Account Manager. After 11 years at Champion Brands, a leading Florida Miller/Coors distributor, Porter became National Account Manager at Dogfish Head/Boston Beer Company managing large Midwest chains.
