Kevin M. Roberts

Kevin M. Roberts is a serial entrepreneur, author, and financial educator with three decades of hands-on business-building across the United States and Europe.

Born in Canada and raised in Los Angeles, Kevin grew up immersed in the energy of the entertainment industry, a teenage encounter with Steven Spielberg sealed his conviction that ambition and persistence beat pedigree. He launched his first venture in 1995, selling sandwiches and croissants to fellow students while earning his college degree in New York City. That early instinct for turning ideas into cash flow became the blueprint for everything that followed.

Drawn back to his father's roots in Abruzzo (Teramo), Kevin moved to Italy and built a chain of gelato shops strategically positioned between Rome and Milan. He then expanded into property development, leveraging design sensibility and disciplined deal-making to navigate one of Europe's most demanding real estate markets. From there he crossed into event management, film production, and book production, proof that an entrepreneur's edge is portable across industries.

The road was not smooth. Kevin has been audited, has overpaid taxes, has watched ventures stall, and has rebuilt every time. Those scars are the reason his books work: they trade theory for what actually happens at the bank, at the tax office, and at the negotiating table.

He is the author of four books, all registered with the Writers Guild of America East:

• The Ultimate Dummy Guide to Starting Your Own Business (2023)

• ChatGPT Billionaire (2023)

• Atomic Savings (2024)

• The Ultimate Dummy Guide to Tax Deductions & Breaks (2025)

• The Ultimate Dummy Guide to Starting Your Own Business 2026 Edition

Kevin lives between New York and Italy with his wife Mary. He mentors founders, writes at kevinmroberts.com, and is currently working on Retirement Planning Made Simple and Affiliate Marketing for Dummies.
