Rocky McKay aka “Rocky The Roofer” is the Founder and President of The Operation Organization Inc. (TOO) a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization whose program Operation Reset gives a “hand-up and not a hand-out" to returning citizens - U.S. Veterans who’ve returned home jobless, non violent ex-offenders, and homeless people in need of a second chance.

A successful business man, Rocky, is originally from Long Island, New York and currently runs a successful roofing business, RTR Consulting, in Atlanta GA where he now resides. A military brat and preacher’s son, Rocky lived in many different countries – Italy, Holland, Germany - where his father was stationed; eventually settling in New York. He married at the young age of 19, had his first child, and worked as a roof laborer to support his family. Teased by his peers, the name Rocky The Roofer was intended as an insult to downgrade him, but instead he adopted it as his moniker.

Young and seeking excitement, Rocky moved from New York to Florida chasing an opportunity in the music 🎶🎼industry. “I soon realized that the music industry wasn’t for me. It required a lot of traveling and since I moved so much as a child, I didn’t want to put my family through that,” shares Rocky. He eventually returned to Florida and decided to get back into the roofing industry. Upon returning home, he landed in a bit of trouble and found himself incarcerated for 90 days in a Florida jail. “It was the lowest part of my life, but I learned so much about myself. I met so many people with different backgrounds who I wouldn’t have met on the outside. I realized that many of them were just like myself, in the wrong place at the wrong time or associated with the wrong people.”
