Seminars & Presentations:

Our Keynote Speaker is Ron Sturgeon. Ron is a classic American entrepreneur. At 17, Ron was homeless with only a small inheritance and a VW bug. Ron taught himself to fix it and started an auto repair business while he was in high school. He entered auto salvage when he noticed he was making as much selling used parts as fixing cars. Drawing upon the lessons learned growing his yard from one employee to one of America’s largest salvage operations, Ron wrote How to Salvage Millions from Your Small Business. In 1999, Ford purchased his salvage business. Later, he and partners repurchased Ford’s salvage division, GreenLeaf. They returned it to profitability and sold it 18 months later. Drawing upon 35 years of success, Ron preaches practical, nuts and bolts information for entrepreneurs who want to build great businesses.

The future is calling – are you ready?
