Roger represents a wide variety of narrative and idea-driven nonfiction clients in the areas of history, religion/spirituality, politics, personal development, business, and cultural issues by leading scholars, journalists, activists and musicians. A seasoned content creator and project manager, he delights in partnering with clients to develop and expand their mission and message in order to reach the widest possible audience.

Roger was an agent at Foundry Literary + Media for five years before joining the Folio team in 2020. Prior to becoming an agent, Roger served as an Executive Editor for a decade at HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. In advance of joining the editorial team at Harper, he was the Associate Director of Marketing and Publicity (from 1999-2004) where he ran bestselling campaigns across the full spectrum of the HarperOne list.

Roger works with Bart Ehrman, Diana Butler Bass, Robert P. Jones, Jim Wallis, Eboni K.

Roger holds a Masters of Divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary, a Business/Economics degree from Westmont College, and is a graduate of the Stanford University Professional Publishing Course. He began his publishing career in 1997 as an envelope-stuffing intern in the publicity department at Princeton University Press.

A jazz drummer by training, Roger has played with a variety of jazz, rock and funk groups over the years and is still active in several music projects (acoustic and digital). Publishing the occasional rock star helps perpetuate the satisfying delusion that Roger still has a glorious music career ahead of him.
