Roger began his creative journey late in life at age 30. He began by studying acting in the late 90s under the tutelage of Clarence Gilyard before moving to Los Angeles to pursue this dream. His acting credits included The Bernie Mac Show, a series of Spike TV promotion ads for CSI reruns as well as a full page print ad in Men's Fitness Magazine.

While in Los Angeles, Roger also began to study screenwriting and directing. He's written several award winning screenplays in a variety of genres but specialized in horror/thrillers. He also wrote, produced and directed a series of short films that were compiled into a feature film called The Forces of Horror volume I through his company Force of Nature Films, which was distributed world wide through Adler and Associates Entertainment, Inc.

Among his feature screenwriting achievements is The Zombie Effect, a genre redefining film which provides a science fiction possible reality for a zombie apocalypse, which Roger also reverse adapted into a novella which was published through Severed Press Publisher in Australia and available on Amazon. He also wrote The Ritual, a modern day Jack the ripper story.

Roger has many stories in development that he is writing including The Abyssal Plain, a thriller about a transatlantic submerged bullet train, The Deep Web, a human trafficking thriller and Lycanthrope, a werewolf story he is also producing into a short film right now with his wife and producing partner.

      • Quotes
        Living a happy and successful life is all about choice. Anyone can choose happiness if they really want it. The key is the realization that happiness is not solely derived from dreams coming true. It also comes from the journey pursuing them. Living the dream is more than the end result, it's the sum of all the parts it took to get there.
