Burton Roberts was born pushing himself in everything he does in life – always looking for the next challenge and life changing experience. A true entrepreneur, adventurer, sportsman, and world traveler, he has checked off more items on his bucket list than most people will in their lifetimes.
In 2004, Burton changed career paths to pursue his
passions and hit the ground running into the entertainment world. He quickly proved naysayers wrong with success of his first show that he sold to Fox. Seeing the potential in a bigger partnership, he and close friend and fellow traveler Alex Boylan joined forces to form Around The World Productions in 2007 (www.aroundtheworldproductions.com) and went on to break ground creating online interactive shows with multiplatform distribution. Shows include Around The World For Free, Jeff and Jordan do America, and Catching Tail, as well as hundreds of episodes domestically and internationally for clients such as CBS, Rachael Ray, Sportsman Channel, the Boy Scouts of America, and Travel Channel to name a few. They have traveled the world from end to end and their countless, and crazy, stories have kept the travel bug at bay. Burton was also the CEO and host of the Yacht Channel which was the ultimate dream job that took him around the world from the south of France to the Seychelles. His typical office was aboard multi-million dollar yachts at sea including aboard venture capitalist Tom Perkins' $100M+ sailboat The Maltese Falcon.
