Rory was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. He now resides in the great state of Texas.  

He learned most of what he knows from:
  • Being the oldest of 9 kids
  • From being the father of 8 children of his own
  • And from marrying way over his head 
He has been:
  • A Window-washer
  • An Asphalt Truck Driver
  • And for more than 14 years was one of the most highly requested speakers for the Franklin Covey Organization. 
He became a Professional Speaker:

Because his high school drama teacher, Mrs. Sylvester, recognized his gift for public speaking and encouraged him to use it. 

As a professional speaker, he has:
  • Co-authored a best selling book entitled, “The Five-Minute Rule”
  • Presented well over 6,000 presentations
