“You Can Have Everything You Want In Life, if You Will Just Help Enough Other People Get What They Want.” – Zig Ziglar
With this as a guiding principle, I have spent a lifetime helping others achieve greater success. With more than 35 years’ experience as an entrepreneur, I’ve become proficient in growing
multiple businesses, and developing practices, people, and opportunity along the way. Since
1985, with a great team effort, we’ve grown rent-to-own operations from one store to over
100, franchised 10 wheel/tire locations, built a real estate division within the company, and
much more.
In that time, I’ve developed a passion for community service and educating others on the
value of giving back. I take pride in an extensive record of “helping other people get what they
want,” and holding a primary goal to be effective in bettering communities and lives, spending
time where it makes a real difference. I’ve tutored, taught, coached, built homes with Habitat
for Humanity, raised funds, organized legislative efforts, and led countless employees to
better lives through better training, effective communications, and realized opportunity. My
enthusiasm for continuing education and technology as drivers for growth have proven to lead
to greater prosperity for all.
Above all my accomplishments, I hold success as a family man above all the rest and am
most proud of my 39-year marriage to Sharon, my three children, and five grandchildren. I
look forward to serving McKendree University and their students, continuing my life quest to
help others achieve success.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
