Roger, a native of Tennessee, grew up outside of Nashville near the Kentucky border. He comes to the real estate business with many years of management and sales experience, as well as a family background in sales and real estate of over 3 generations. He spent many family vacations and weekend getaways exploring the Smokey Mountains. A job relocation in 1997, with then employer Louise Mandrell, brought Roger to Pigeon Forge. After a successful 9 year run her theatre closed on December 31, 2005. Roger saw this as a opportunity to assist others in finding their dream home, or investment property in the beautiful mountains of east Tennessee, and joined Re/Max Adventure realty that same winter.
