Roger started writing short stories when he was seven or eight years old. At eleven, he decided he wanted to be a naturalist like writer/artist Ernest Thompson Seton and, in later years, George Schaller. He abandoned work on a doctorate in zoology, however, to get a second master’s in journalism to fulfil his life-long desire to write.

Wildlife and its protection have been at the center of virtually all of his writing, including ten books and myriad magazine articles. He has worked as a writer, editor, communications director, and major-donor proposal writer for various wildlife conservation groups. Roger is the author of Theodore Roosevelt in the Badlands along with seven other nonfiction books and two novels. He latest book, Return of the Bison, published in 2023 with Mountaineers Books.
