Roger did so and became a principal in DAG while maintaining his Atlanta-based interiors firm. Since joining the firm, Roger has shared his love for good design along with client development, helping the firm to become the largest design firm in Northwest Florida.

 

Growing up in rural Alabama and working on his family’s farm, Roger gained great respect for space, light, nature, and hard work. A few years ago, he renovated the old homeplace and credits that experience with giving him a greater appreciation for the work the firm does. The purity of preserving the character, memory, and roots of the simple farmhouse helped him to realize that being entrusted with providing something of value that will endure for even hundreds of years is one of the most significant hallmarks of good design.

 

As managing principal, Roger works with the other partners to craft not only the firm’s vision, but to establish high expectations for great design. His earnest interest in mentoring younger designers is a wonderful palette whereby he is able to encourage them to reach beyond their level of comfort to create something truly remarkable. Something of value that will endure the test of time and all that comes with it.

 

Roger is a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), serves on the GSA National Design Peer Review and is a Senior Fellow in the Design Futures Council.
