DESTIN, Fla., May 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For Matt Butler, transitioning from military fatigues to a business suit didn't happen in a day, nor was it a seamless change. Today, Butler travels overseas to military installations to teach Boots to Business (B2B) classes to veterans and military spouses; Butler also travels worldwide to track veterans with their progress.
After spending 9 years growing the family-friendly backyard game Rollors into a nationally recognized brand, Butler officially retired last year to run his company and is now on a mission to help other service members pursue their passions through coaching and as an instructor with the Small Business Administration's Boots to Business program.
"When you're in the military you always have a plan of action, but when you decide to retire you enter a world of unknowns," explained Butler. "My goal through the Boots to Business program is to give veterans the tools and advice to create a brand new action plan that will make their transition to civilian life smoother."
Butler went through the entrepreneurial education and training program himself and came out with a personal action plan that has helped him achieve great business goals and opportunities.
Small Business Achievements:
- Increase net sales by 192% in the last year alone
- Build a nationally recognized brand (Rollors) that's available in major retailers, including REI, Dick's Sporting Goods, Wayfair, Walmart and Amazon among others
- Employ veterans in the creation of Rollors

- Donate over 50K to worth of Rollors games to various charities like: Marine Corps Toys for Tots, Wounded Warriors Project, Boys Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of America, Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors, USO, and many more
"I was once on the front lines defending our country," said Butler. "Now I want to support those that are doing the same for me."
