"I'm looking forward to working with the Foundation to provide assistance to the LAFD and its many men and women who serve with such integrity and valor in our community."
As vice president of sales at Pelican, Rolfes' responsibilities include leading Pelican's U.S. commercial and consumer sales teams while also establishing business initiatives outside traditional distribution channels. Working closely within the community to provide Pelican's products to its emergency responders and other safety service members, Mark brings his relationships and knowledge of tactical fire/safety expertise to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation's foremost matters and projects.
