Fords in Four: Roby Burch '13
Owner and Founder, Blue Truck 
1. What lessons from Haverford do you carry with you? 
Haverford taught me how to be a better version of myself. More than anything, what I take away from Haverford is the importance of showing up and being present. Haverford drives you to do what gets you excited, whether that's engineering or English or art. The School also has a really strong community - I stay in touch with my friends, teachers and coaches.

2. Can you talk about winning the Gettysburg Entrepreneurial Fellowship? 

My dad (Bob Burch '72) was an entrepreneur - he started his apparel company, Eagle Eye, at the age of 16. I inherited his entrepreneurial spirit and started Blue Truck when I was 16, doing handyman fixes and moving furniture. I grew the business every year during the summers. In my senior year at Gettysburg, I entered their Summer Entrepreneurial Fellowship competition and presented my business plan for Blue Truck. Winning that grant was one of my biggest accomplishments. It allowed me to meet some wonderful mentors as well as to operationalize my business. I am now an active member of the Fellowship and one of the alumni who will sit on the panel to judge future applicants. I think it's important to learn how to sell and present your ideas. The panel is full of young alumni like me who want to help this fellowship program take flight.
