About Roger.
That’s me! Born and raised in the great, mitten-shape state of Michigan with my beautiful wife and two girls.
I love to bring people’s ideas, passions, and “what-ifs” to life by removing obstacles, helping to see opportunities, and setting clear benchmarks to encourage progress—fueled by a healthy diet of coffee and carbs.
If I’m not analyzing your personality test results, you can find me planning my next travel excursion, trying to learn too many languages, or making forts for my daughters.
