Roger grew up dreaming of exploring the world by reading National Geographic, watching Jacques Cousteau and studying wildlife and different cultures around the world.

For many years Roger was an executive in corporate America. Then Roger did a life 180 and decided to follow his true passion. He became an artist, adventurer and activist, with a focus on aerial photography and filmmaking in the most remote parts of our planet, while also giving voice to wildlife and mother earth herself. Roger hopes to inspire and motivate others to take a more active stance in the future of all life and our environment.

Lyrics My legs are all buried in salt the way As my lips move out all of my words the way But this can't be all that we have to wait This can't be all that we have to wait Pressing and pulling these pains the way They listen and listen for all the way But this can't be all that we have to wait This can't be all that we have to wait Do you hear the wind child? Calling out to salt plains Listen to the wind child It's calling out, it's calling out your name I was born of sun beams Warming up our limbs Born up from the earth child No I'll never come back down Never come down from here No I'll never come back down Never come down from here No I'll never come back down Never come down from here No I'll never come back down Never come down from here No I'll never come back down Never come down from here No I'll never come back down Never come down from here This can't be all that we have to wait No I'll never come back down Never come down from here But this can't be all that we have to wait No I'll never come back down Never come down from here No I'll never come back down Never come down from here No I'll never come back down Never come down from here (No I'll never come back down Down from here No I'll never come back down Down from here)
