Hired to analyze and price insurance risks, he soon transitioned into the information technology world analyzing business automation needs and leading project teams. With these skills, Roger was appointed to lead their corporate in-plant journey from craft-based operations into one that embraced technology.

A widely respected and award-winning print operation resulted. Recognizing his co-workers were one of his greatest resources, career mentoring and succession planning became a staple of his leadership.
