About

Rodman Schley is not your typical “tree hugger”. In fact, he is a fiscal conservative businessman that places a high value on social responsibility for both humanity and our planet.

As the creator and executive producer of The Urban Conversion, Rodman travels the country putting him in the most “extreme green” projects, to learn about how we can all make changes to save our planet. In the United States, there is an increasing movement towards homesteading in an urban environment. More and more people are working hard to create sustainable living lifestyles in order to reduce their carbon footprints, and be more environmentally friendly. Some of these lifestyles are quite extreme. From raising backyard chickens in the city, to milking goats, converting Rodman from a city slicker businessman to an off-the-grid “tree hugger” is ultimately The Urban Conversion. The show is best described as urban homesteading for dummies, and Rodman is the dummy!

No one is better suited for this role than Rodman. This is primarily because being the host of The Urban Conversion is not a role. It is not scripted, and is his actual life. Rodman currently owns 13 successful businesses in the Denver area, and has a fairly extreme carbon footprint. However, he is embarking on a quest to reduce his carbon footprint, and ultimately convert himself, and his businesses, to a more eco-friendly status. In doing so, the internal conflict between the fiscal conservative and the socially responsible tree hugger provide for many interesting and humorous situations.

In addition to The Urban Conversion, Rodman currently employs/empowers nearly 125 people in various roles throughout his Colorado based companies. He currently lives in Denver with his wife Gina and two children Sophia and Cecilia.
