I've never been lucky, I've been persistant. I've grinded and put in the work so that when opportunities show up, I am ready to take full advantage of them. What you see is not success, it is what's left after forging small advantages day after day.

He took inventory of every challenge he overcame as an entrepreneur, and published his expereinces in the memior "A hardheaded Guide to Starting a Business."

An avid reader, Rory found inspiration in the writings of Teddy Roosevelt and Ralph Waldo Emerson stating "I love to learn from the struggles and thoughts of great men who lived before me." He continued his educational journey by taking elective courses offered by prestigious schools such as MIT and Harvard.
In late 2012, Rory Started Lovern Business Consulting (LBC). LBC was founded to help small to medium-sized businesses with their business challenges. Rory would continue helping businesses and honing his own skills, until restructuring Lovern Business Consulting as ExecuShark Marketing & Consulting. "I found that a great number of businesses had yet to adapt to the advertising world of the now digital space," Rory explained. " A great majority of the businesses I help are struggling to establish their foothold digitally. It's not a lack of enventory, process, or manpower—it's a lack of demand—and most of that can be fixed through adjusted marketing verticals."
During his tenure as ExecuShark CEO, Rory grew his company to service over 100 businesses across 40+ different sectors. One such sector was in the Regenerative Medicine space in where Rory became fascinated with Stem Cells & therapies such as Photobiomodulation and Laser Treatment.

In 2020, Rory made a successful exit from his startup and sold his shares to the company's co-founders. That same year, Rory joined publisher Otis Jones as CMO of the Beverly Hills luxury publication Hills, Views & Valleys (HVV). Along with Rory's influence, HVV grew to become one of the most dominant and exclusive luxury publications in the world.
Rory's longstanding passion for high-end automotives allowed him to head HVV's Luxury Automotive Section as Chief Columnist & Editor. Rory has written for such illustrious brands as Rolls Royce, Pagani, & Bugatti.
In 2021, Rory would step away from the CMO role at HVV and relocate to Charlotte, NC.
