Roger is a classic car enthusiast, skier, and passionate mountaineer/alpine climber with numerous ascents to his credit, including the Matterhorn in Switzerland and Grand Teton in Wyoming.
He currently lives on the coast of Maine with his wife, Thea, and two young daughters. When he isn’t coaching, speaking, podcasting, and creating new tools for restaurant owners, you will find him dining out at new restaurants, dancing in the moguls at area ski resorts, ripping it up on his mountain bike in the canyons, cruising around with the top down in one of his classic cars, or playing tennis ball tag with his daughters at the local playground.
Along with founding the Restaurant Rockstars Academy, Restaurant Finances 101 and Sales Stars Staff Training, Roger is the Host of The Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, an Author, a National Speaker and he coaches & consults with restaurant owners globally.
Knowing that more than 50 percent of restaurants fail, he has a deep passion for helping those hoping to open a restaurant not only survive, but thrive and knock it out of the park! Roger feels there is no reason for others to make the same mistakes he made 20 years ago when he started his first restaurant. With more than 20 years in the business, he is a genius with restaurant analytics, branding, training, systems, and efficiencies, using his expertise to help restaurateurs create not just restaurants, but BUSINESSES with ROCKSTAR PROFITS!
