Fun fact

His father, Edward S. Rogers Sr., invented the world's first alternating current radio tube in 1925, making the Rogers family telecommunications royalty for three generations.

Born and raised in Toronto, educated at Upper Canada College and U of T, then spent his entire career building one of Canada's largest telecommunications empires without ever leaving home. Canada didn't just shape him — his company literally connected the country, eh.
