Background and Expertise

As a people-driven leader, Roger knows the importance of advocating for his clients' unique vision for their life. With over 35 years of helping clients obtain greater confidence in their wealth management, Roger’s motivation for his work has remained the same: to serve his clients, team, and community to the fullest extent possible.

Transforming aspirations into actuality takes hard work, discipline, and the ability to combine strategic financial planning with the individual nature and aspects associated with each client. With this in mind, Roger has stood as a trusted partner in the lives of his clients for decades, and intentionally built a team at Focal Point Financial Advisors that can do the same.

In his free time, Roger enjoys outdoor activities such as running, biking and hunting.  He also enjoys traveling to new locations and exploring.
