Rogers graduated from UW-Stevens Point in 2006 with a degree in business administration and joined Sentry Insurance that same year. He was infected with the podcasting bug in 2009 and has been editing and producing podcasts and videos ever since. After 15 years with Sentry, he left in 2021 to pursue freelance projects. When he\u2019s not spending time with his patient wife, Kelly, or curious 7-year-old, Dane, you can find him playing tabletop miniature games, cooking ethnic cuisines, administering Salesforce orgs, hiking (quite moderate) inclines, designing games, or reading just about anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwsp-vtabs blockspacetop blockspacebottom\"><div class=\"vtab-intro\" style=\"text-align:\"><h2 class=\"h2\">SilviCast Resources<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"vtab-thetabs\"><div class=\"accentlinetop\" role=\"none\"><\/div><div class=\"vtab-nav\"><\/div><div class=\"vtab-content\">\n<div class=\"uwsp-vtab-thetab\"><div class=\"vtab-tabtitle\">Connect with SilviCast<i class=\"fa-solid fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"vtab-tabcontent\">\n<div class=\"vtab-content-column bgpurple\"><h2>Contact Us<\/h2><div>\n<p>Have a question for our hosts?
