Roger began his career in 1986 with The Cincinnati Insurance Company. 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. Manual pre-press processes led to electronic creative services including design, wide-format printing, and digital photography; traditional printing presses were augmented with digital devices and most recently transitioned to inkjet printing. 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. Skilled management teams were created, ready to become the next generation of leaders. This intentional development led Roger to his current position as Assistant Vice President of Administrative Services and Facilities where he provides administrative leadership to the managers of print, mail, fulfillment, corporate records, security, and facilities.
Believing in giving back to an industry that helped shape his career, association work best provided that opportunity. A member of the Graphic Media Alliance Board of Directors since 2009, he has served as finance chair and board chairman and most recently as second vice chair for the Printing Industries of America Board. Both opportunities came with the privilege of being the first in-plant director elected. He also serves on the XPLOR International Board, focusing on providing education for transactional printers.
Roger enjoys family time with his children, grandchildren, and his sweetheart Lynne, especially boating together at the lake. An avid musician, Roger has been a church music worship director for over 35 years.
