He has acted in many stage plays & musicals, mostly regional theatre in the tri-state (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) area and films and television. He has been acting since 1992 since graduating from the famed William Esper. Roger started RAD Productions & Flipper Films, a film and music production company in 2003. Roger co-produced, co-wrote and co-directed a TV pilot Wackademia which has been submitted to TV film festivals. Roger won Honorable Mention for Best Director Award at the International Film Festival Manhattan in New York City 2015. Roger studied digital filmmaking at the New York Film Academy where he directed his first short film, "Dollar Nine" and directed other short films, “Why I Fired My Secretary” at New York University. Since then Roger has studied Producing, Directing, Sound Design, Cinematography, Filmmaking & Screenwriting at NYU as well as Screenwriting at the Gotham Writers Workshop. He has written two feature screenplays, Miss Sampaguita, a coming of age story and Jaco, an optioned biography of Jaco Pastorius for the screen, both of which he hopes to direct one day. Roger started playing the piano at age 10 and over the years has taken lessons in guitar, classical guitar, trumpet and most recently bass guitar with Patrick Pfiefer in 2000. He has played in many bands over the years throughout the New York City area, wedding, cover and original music playing keyboards, guitar and bass as well as singing lead and backup vocals. He played bass guitar in his last band, Untitled Art. He recently recorded a song he sang for the TV show, "Dance Moms". Roger is a huge fan of personal development studying with the likes of T. Harv Ecker at his live courses since 2005, Anthony Robbins since 2006, other favorites include Les Brown, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy and Jim Rohn. Aside from the arts, Roger has devoted his time contributing to charities and running for Team in Training for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society raising money to help find a cure for blood related cancers. He started running in 2006 (never ran over a mile since high school) and has run thirty-seven half marathons and thirteen full marathons and runs the New York City Marathon annually. He donates to many charities including CharityWater.org, the American Society of Suicide Prevention and The American Lung Association in loving memory of his parents. My goal is to keep developing my film and TV scripts and eventually produce and direct the films as well as pitch the TV pilots. I would love to collaborate with others here at the Collaborative and be supportive of others in this community.
