Delaware-based entrepreneur and creative visionary Keith E. Roper is set to launch more than just a book—he’s launching a movement.
On Friday, May 30 at 6PM, the Riverfront in Wilmington will host the official release celebration for Nice Guys Finish First Always, Roper’s powerful debut that blends memoir, leadership insights, and personal development with a bold call to action. The event is not just about turning a page—it’s about turning a corner in how we define leadership, success, and manhood.
A lifelong designer, Roper is the founder of Tri-State 3D Tech & Design Firm, a business dedicated to community-centered innovation through design and technology. He was recently recognized by Google for his work integrating artificial intelligence in ways that uplift and empower underserved communities. But beyond the tech and titles, Roper is also the founder of Nice Guys Nation™—a fast-growing movement of men who believe in leading with truth, purpose, and integrity.
“This isn’t just about being ‘nice,’” Roper explains. “It’s about strength rooted in values. It’s about building something real without compromising who you are.”
Nice Guys Finish First Always follows Roper’s personal journey from a quiet, artistic kid in Delaware to a purpose-driven leader carving out space for a new kind of masculine excellence. Through candid storytelling, leadership lessons, and motivational insights, Roper challenges long-held myths about success, that you have to be cutthroat to win, or that kindness is a weakness.
The book invites readers to rethink what it means to be a leader, a builder, and a man of integrity in today’s world.
The Launch Event: A Movement Begins
The May 30th launch event at Riverfront Wilmington is more than a book release—it’s a rally point for a community. Attendees will hear from Roper himself, connect with like-minded individuals, and celebrate the rise of a movement built on values, not ego.
