A life-long resident of Lancaster County, Roger received his BA in Geology from Franklin and Marshall College and worked 30 years as a geologist for the Commonwealth of PA. Following retirement, Roger has renewed his enduring interest in art, concentrating on creating sculptures from found metal.

"I worked for 30 years as a geologist and still consider myself a scientist. But I have always considered art an integral part of my life. In poetry and in the visual arts I have expressed my love of the world of imagination, a world as necessary to me as the empirical reality of science.
Throughout the years I have experimented with various art mediums including watercolor, collage, wire sculptures and mobiles. Since my retirement in late 2003, I have concentrated on metal sculpture, creating each piece from found materials. Working with found materials has added an extra dimension to the creative process for me; happenstance – the fortuitous find – often plays as large a role in the process as do detailed study and design."
