Roger Koyle
Startup CEO and Business Consultant
Roger Koyle began his entrepreneurial experience in 2001 when he started his first company, Home Source Mortgage as a single-person operation with no intention of expanding. Five years later Roger had grown the company to become the largest residential mortgage brokerage in Idaho, with an office of over 10,000 square feet and employing 65 employees.
Roger also owned RK investments which owned 10 rental properties.
In 2004, because of the incredible staff at his mortgage company, Roger was able to begin his 3rd business venture. After a year and a half of research, preparation, and construction, Viziato Salon and Spa inc. was opened for business. On its opening day, this very high-end day spa employed 40 full and part-time employees.
Prior to starting Home Source Mortgage Roger had a career in the Mortgage industry, Real Estate industry and worked for over five years in purchasing and management with Micron Technology.
In 2010 Roger and his wife located to Kaysville, Utah. The very first stop Roger made was to the Davis Chamber of Commerce where he was also introduced to the Davis Tech Business Resource Center and the SBDC. Roger became involved in various entrepreneurial ventures, and business consulting and served in a voluntary capacity as Site Leader and Board member of a Utah 501c3 organization known as entrepreneur Launch Pad (ELP). Roger acted as Site Leader for the Davis County site and Utah County site in Orem. During his time as Site Leader in Davis County, ELP expanded its attendance from 10-15 people meeting weekly to over 65. When asked how he was able to pull this off, Roger quickly credits the success to the other seven members of his advisory board who assisted with the four-month development and eventual launch. The pilot program was a massive success and was later expanded to Orem where with the help of volunteers from Davis County and Utah County, ELP-Orem was able to expand its weekly attendance from an average of eight people to over 40 in just six weeks.
Roger is now the Co-Founder and CEO of iZonus LLC which has developed several proprietary safety products designed specifically for First Responders and other safety-minded industries. He has made nine trips to China to oversee development and production. His products are now being used in one capacity or the other in almost all 50 states as well as Canada and Australia.
