About Roger

A unique blend of humor and workable ideas

If they're laughing, they're listening. If they're listening, they're learning.

Roger says, ”If we don’t laugh during our productive sessions, if we don’t have fun while improving, then somebody is doing something wrong. And that somebody would be me.”
