Bio

Picture
My new chapter in life is learning how to capture the beauty of the world in oil.

​
In my 19-year newspaper career, I exposed cops who owned crack houses. My reporting led an Ohio Supreme Court justice to break the ribs of another in a fight. I won top investigative awards, including the Pulitzer Prize with a talented newsroom of reporters and the Silver Gavel from the American Bar Association, its highest award for reporting on the legal system.

As a bishop, I was surrounded by Saints who turned "test" into testimony. I am among pioneers of Kentucky Proud, a state marketing program linking farm families to buyers at grocery stores, restaurants, and manufacturing plants.

And then I reached death’s door in April 2017 and was given one more assignment — reporting from heaven. My second book, Love, Grandpa, resulted.

​My first book in 2009 was about the ace pitcher who took the Cubs to the 1929 World Series, Root for the Cubs: Charlie Root and the 1929 Chicago Cubs.
​

Roger and wife Linda, of Frankfort, Kentucky, have two daughters, Rachel and Hannah, son-in-law Joshua Brown, and grandchildren Izzy, Noah, Ruby, and Starlight.
