Article from the Franchise Journal, November 2, 2020

In this month’s franchisee feature, we’d like to focus on Robert “Bob” Rogers of McLean, Virginia, who is an Air Force veteran. Bob has taught Entrepreneurship for the past five years to personnel transitioning from the military, but a year ago he purchased a WSI Digital Marketing franchise.

Bob was looking for another business he could run from home, and WSI fit the bill. He continues to teach Entrepreneurship, however, for a few days each month at various military bases in the Washington, D.C. area.
