Roger was born in Kent on 29 March 1945 and currently presents on six BBC Local Radio stations across southern England.

Roger was invited to join Swinging Radio England and was one of the original presenters and was there until the station closed 6 months later. In 1967, he joined Radio Caroline South before joining Radio Luxembourg.                                    
He then returned to offshore radio broadcasting with Radio North Sea International, which dismissed him in 1970. He also briefly presented a breakfast show on the new Radio Caroline in the mid-1970s.                                                                                                                   
Since then, Roger has been heard on many commercial stations throughout the UK including Manchester's Piccadilly Radio, Birmingham's BRMB, Radio West in Bristol, Invicta Radio / Invicta Supergold in Kent, Pirate FM in Cornwall, Jazz FM in London, County Sound in Surrey, Amber Radio in Suffolk and Fusion 107.3 in London. He has also managed radio stations, including Mellow 1557 in Essex.

For some time after its inception in October 2001, Roger was used as a relief breakfast show presenter, standing in for David Hamilton and Les Ross for Saga 105.7 FM in Birmingham. He then took over the Weekday Drive-time show from  4-8pm, (4-7pm on Fridays) and presented a three hour show on Saturday mornings from 10am-1pm playing 50s and 60s tunes.                                                        
He also hosted an hour-long show playing number ones with the closure of Saga and its re-branding as 105.7 Smooth Radio in March 2007. Roger presented a show for Smooth Radio. '60s Saturday' played music from that decade between 10am-1pm on Saturdays, but the show ended in September 2007 as Smooth Radio re-scheduled some of its programme’s.

Roger then moved stations and is currently presenting a daily show on BBC Radio Kent every weekday evening from 7-10pm, this show can also be heard on six stations (BBC Radio Kent, BBC Sussex, BBC Surrey, BBC Radio Solent, BBC Radio Berkshire, BBC Oxford) in the South and South East of England. The programme features the best music from the past 6 decades plus in depth interviews with those who made it. Recent interviewees include Ray Davies, Marianne Faithfull, Sir Cliff Richard, James Morrison, Michael McDonald, Mick Fleetwood, Florence & The Machine, Foreigner, Mr. Hudson and many more! He also has a Sunday afternoon show from 2-5pm only on BBC Radio Kent

Roger very kindly agreed to attend the 2009 Downswood Summer Fete and straight away mingled with the guests, many of which came specially to see him. Once again the weather was kind to us and we had the addition of this fantastic radio presenter! Roger has since agreed to officially open the 2010 Downswood summer fete, so why not come along and meet him and enjoy your afternoon with a real legend.
