Roger is a partner of Legacy Consulting Group and specializes in helping clients discover “what they plan to do with their one wild and precious life.” Over the years, it has become evident all wild and precious lives are filled with transitions. These range from marriage, children, job/career changes, death of a spouse, divorce, sale of a business, retirement, financial windfall, inheritance, and many others. The poet, Mary Oliver, said “To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.” Our Financial Life Planning process is about “paying attention” in order to help people know that their money and financial decisions are fully aligned with what really matters to them. Paying attention and making a difference in the lives of others is our endless and proper work.

Roger is a lifelong learner and received his BBA in Finance from Abilene Christian University and his MBA in Management from the University of Dallas. In 1989, Roger received the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification from the College for Financial Planning. In 2004, he received the Registered Life Planner™ certification from the Kinder Institute of Life Planning and in 2016, the Certified Financial Transitionist™ designation from The Sudden Money® Institute. He is the only person in the state of Texas to hold all three designations of CFP®, RLP®, and CeFT®.

He has worked in the financial planning profession for over 35 years and is currently a member of the Financial Planning Association, Kinder Institute of Life Planning, Dallas Estate Planning Council, The Sudden Money® Institute and the Nazrudin Project. Since 2004, Roger has been continuously named as one of the top financial planners in the Dallas area by D Magazine, and has been recognized as a Five Star Wealth Manager each year since 2012.

Roger and his wife have three sons, two amazing daughters-in-law, and two wonderful grandchildren who affectionately call him “Papa.” Outside of work, Roger finds pleasure in traveling and exploring the world around him. Being active is of great importance to him through cycling, exercise, tennis, pickleball and skeet shooting. You can often find him lost in a good book and serving others leading a small group at LifePoint Church.
