About RotoSpeaks

Roto’s fascination with space took off the moment he watched the Apollo 11 moon landing. That spark lit a fire in him to become an astronaut—and while that dream didn’t quite come true, it launched a different kind of journey: a nearly 30-year career as a respected and successful Navy pilot and officer. Along the way, he learned to thrive under pressure and developed the leadership skills and core values that continue to guide him today.

He earned his Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Florida, then went on to pursue two master’s degrees—one in Aerospace Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School, and another in Business Administration from IMPAC University. His thirst for knowledge never stopped fueling his path.

One of Roto’s most challenging roles came as a Navy test pilot. He and his team were responsible for making sure our nation's pilots had the safest equipment possible. The mission was deeply personal—especially knowing that the safety measures they worked on might have saved the lives of two close friends lost in service. It was in those high-stakes moments that Roto discovered a clear sense of purpose. He began to understand what motivates people, how trust is built, and what it takes for teams to succeed—lessons that would shape the rest of his career.

His journey continued as he took command of the Navy’s top training system research and development organization. There, he led a team of more than 1,200 active duty and civilian professionals, overseeing over $1 billion in training solutions each year. It was leadership on a grand scale, and he rose to the challenge with clarity and heart.

After retiring from the Navy in 2012, Roto founded his own firm to help businesses grow in sales, leadership, and culture. Today, he coaches and trains executives and leadership teams across the country. Passionate about great leadership, Roto continues to inspire others—just as he was once inspired by a rocket launch to the moon.
