Ron DeVoe, founder and former CEO of TOTAL Marketing, brings over 40 years of experience and expertise in audiovisual sales and channel development. Ron left "active duty" in January 2010 when he sold TOTAL Marketing to his daughter Darcy Harrell. While actually never leaving, Ron continued to assist TOTAL Marketing while also serving in volunteer roles with SCORE and IPRO. In 2013 he worked as a consultant to manufacturers wishing to build or strengthen their presence within the AV dealer channel in the US. The consulting work re-invigorated Ron with the enjoyment he always had with dealer engagement. Ron and Pam restarted and reorganized the representative firm under the name of TOTAL Marketing, LLC in September of 2016.
Ron studied Mass Communications, Theater and Business at Abilene Christian University, West Texas State University and Texas Christian University. Upon completion of his studies, Ron was employed as a TV Newsman, radio disc jockey and professional actor before launching his career within the "jet set" life of AV sales.
