Roger's work has received numerous awards, including an Emmy for King of the Hill, and he holds a PhD in music from Harvard.

Roger and I discussed his work on the film Darby and the Dead, including how they needed to rethink and rework the project to find the film's sound. Roger shared how deadlines and limitations help him finish work. He offered valuable insight from his experience on how to get work and capture the feeling of a film.
