In 2011, Roger experienced first-hand the power of the arts to heal and build community in response to the triple earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster in Japan. The following year he started Community Arts Tokyo. Community Arts Tokyo hosts conferences, festivals, artist gatherings, performance parties, book and movie discussions, art exhibits, talks, panel discussions, and many other events.
Roger, Abi, and his four children live in a forty-story apartment building in downtown Tokyo. He has degrees from The Juilliard School and Columbia University and is pursuing a MA in Theological Studies at Reformed Theological Seminary. In his spare time, Roger loves to run, compete in shinkyokushinkai karate, backpack, make beer/cider/mead, and write.
