He introduced the Today Show audience to eBay with the first nationally publicized charity auction that netted $11,500 with the sale of an autographed NBC jacket. eBay Founder Pierre Omidyar donated an additional $125,000 live on the Today Show and all proceeds benefited the U.S Marine Corp's Toys For Tots charity. In his spare time, Roland enjoys going on adventures with his daughters Allie and Katie, riding motorcycles, flying airplanes, and hunting for metal 1960's TV lunchboxes on eBay.
