Rory Kelly

Cell Only

Keynote Speaker

As the owner of CellOnly, Rory does more than provide leadership, he fosters a ‘family’ culture unlike any other that has spread throughout the company.

After attending the University of Nebraska Lincoln, Rory graduated from the University of Sioux Falls with a Business Management degree. Rory started as a sales representative with Cellular Only in 2004 eventually working his way up to manager of the company’s flagship store on 41st Street in Sioux Falls. Ultimately, through his drive and dedication to customer service, Rory was given the opportunity by the owners of CellOnly, Janet Eining and Pam Greene, to become a partner with them and grow the company. In a few short years, the company grew from just one location to serving customers in over 40 markets across 7 states, employing over 170 team members.

Rory‘s passion for better customer service led to his Golden Rule – nobody at CellOnly is allowed to say no without permission. The rule, which is known by employees at all levels, embodies the company’s commitment to doing everything possible to help guests.

Serving on multiple non-profit board and committees at his church, St. Mary’s, Rory plays an active role in the Sioux Falls community. He believes involvement is a key to success as a company, as a community, and as human beings.

Having achieved many accomplishments, Rory most recently was awarded the Master Grad certificate from Rapport International, a leadership institute known for helping individuals to recognize their talents and purpose. CellOnly has given the gift of Rapport to over 80 friends and employees.

By day, you can find Rory meeting with his team and Sioux Falls community members, serving on boards, working out, and running his kids to their activities. By night, you‘ll find him coaching kids’ activities, cooking, spending time with his wife, Amber, their three children and two Great Danes, and diving into a good book or series. Rory’s also enjoys include learning, travelling to and experiencing new places, and meeting new people. Often he refers to his wife, Amber, as a saint, noting that she has been the guiding force behind all positive change in his life.
