Bio:
Roger was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, attended Trinity College in Dublin and graduated with an honours degree in Business Studies and a single digit golf handicap in 1973. He immigrated to Canada in 1975 and worked as a salesman and product manager for Xerox Canada until 1979.
Roger has 25 years of front line experience involving 9 startups, plus 10 years of research into all-things-entrepreneurial plus 2,000 hours of teaching entrepreneurs how to build startups that work. He has taken one company public and been an angel investor 8 times. He has led in raising over $8m in startup equity and leveraged this equity into $14m.
Since 2001, Roger’s calling has been to help entrepreneurs design, finance and build successful startups. To this end he delivers how-to seminars throughout British Columbia and the Yukon. He believes that there is a clear and proven process for startup success: the actions that make up this process are best practices and these are learnable, customizable and deployable by all business types and models.
Roger’s hobbies are ballroom dancing, public speaking and option trading.

Very appropriate advice. Since it comes from the horse's mouth, there is a great deal of credibility to it. The whole approach seems very structured and logical. The speaker was great and appeared very experienced and confident.
