One of seven children raised in Masterton, Roman Travers graduated from the Wellington based New Zealand Radio Training School in 1995. In 1996 he started as the drive time host on Classic Hits, first in Wanganui and then Hamilton. Over the years, Roman has held many roles within radio, TV, and as a voice over artist. You may have seen Roman hosting the London and Paris editions of 'The Twenty Dollar Challenge' or on Sky Movies 'Big Picture Show'. 5 years ago, Roman became a mentor for the Big Buddy organisation. He became a mentor to Aidan after his two daughters moved away from home, "I felt this empty void and wanted to keep doing something."
