Former Kerusso Marketing Director Chris Rainey has returned to the leading Christian apparel and gift company after a year, as vice president of marketing.

Rainey left Kerusso to join The Mailbox Book Company in Greensboro, N.C., a leading publisher of educational supplemental materials. During almost 20 years in the Christian products industry he has previously held positions with Family Christian Stores and Innovative.

Rainey said that he was "extremely excited" to be back at Kerusso. "The worldwide impact that Kerusso is having is amazing."

Rainey's appointment was announced by Kerusso founder and President Vic Kennett, who said: "The vision and experience Chris brings to Kerusso are invaluable." Marking its 20th anniversary this year, Kerusso occupies 65,000 square feet of office, design and manufacturing facilities in Berryville, Ark.
