About Rollie

I grew up in a family business and started going to work with my dad at six years old. Every day of every summer I got up long before sunrise, went to work with him, and learned about business (although I didn’t know that’s what was happening at the time). I loved the time I spent with my dad and with the other employees of our companies. As the years went by, I grew old enough to actually work during the summer and I discovered something very puzzling to me. My uncles and cousins involved in the business seemed to have different thoughts from my dad on what “work” actually meant. My dad made me start from the bottom; hauling trash from the back of a truck when I was twelve. Some of my family members “skipped” a few levels and began running equipment and getting the “big bucks” while I was being paid $2.25 an hour, but “getting an invaluable education” (according to my dad and uncles). WOW, DID THAT TURN OUT TO BE TRUE! For the next twelve years, I continued to learn about business, from running a division to assisting in the sale of several of our family companies. Since my father and two uncles owned all the stock, I needed to continue to work for a living. Since that time, I’ve helped business owners in many different capacities over the last twenty-five-plus years as a General Manager, CFO, Sales Manager, and Operations Manager. I also started, built, and sold a business of my own.
