Roger's Story
In 1969, I decided to have a career in computers. I have been involved with computers ever since and been very fortunate to keep my skill sets current with all the technology changes that occur almost daily.
In 1970, I married and we had a daughter that graduated from West High the class of 1990 and she is a graduate of Capital University. Her mom and got a dissolution in 1979.
I became a consultant in 1982, which permitted a lot of travel; I finally got tired of living out of a suitcase. In 1986, I took a consulting job with Forstmann Little & Company.

A 1995 opportunity presented itself, which allowed me to work and live in Las Vegas NV for six years, and where I started my own consulting company; a 2001 business opportunity permitted me to return to Columbus for 6 years and I then returned to Las Vegas for another 5 years. Recently, a State of Ohio organization recruited me it gave me an opportunity to move back to the Central Ohio area permanently (it is time to come home, This past Christmas I moved my brother-in-law and sister back to Columbus from Northern Nevada.)
I am single; I keep busy working at the state Organization as their Disaster Recovery Coordinator, managing my two computer consulting businesses, and assisting my brother-in-law and sister due to their ages and health problems. When I am not working I like to cook, listen to 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s music (have a great collection), travel, gamble, and sip good scotch.
