"I have been in the jewelry business for 41 years. I am a Graduate Gemologist. I love jewelry and gems. When I was studying at GIA I came across a color changing diamond which ranged from vivid yellow to dark green, depending upon the lighting. One of the most amazing, beautiful gemstones on earth. Working for Rogers gives me the opportunity to work for a great company with a great legacy and professional staff, while helping people celebrate the best moments of their lives I enjoy my grandkids in my spare time, and I play fantasy football and baseball. I also enjoy keeping up with the gem world."

" I have been in the jewelry business for less than a year, so I am just getting started. Everyone at Rogers was so friendly and welcoming, I felt like a part of the team since day one. Rogers is known for quality jewelry as well as excellent service and I take pride in representing the company. I get to work with beautiful jewelry and gemstones and meet a variety of people, and then I get to help celebrate important moments in their lives. I get to be part of their love building relationships, birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, my favorite. I love my job. It is so rewarding. My favorite piece of jewelry I ever sold was a sapphire necklace with intricate diamond accents. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my two boys, age 12 and 18. My oldest is learning to cook so we spend time exploring new recipes and we all three love to paint, pictures not barns, lol. We have some amateur talent, I think."

"I have been in the jewelry business for 20 years. My favorite thing about the jewelry business is working with my customers and the relationships we have formed. My favorite piece of jewelry I ever sold was a 17ct natural diamond. You should have seen it. Magnificent. I love working for a company with a legacy of being a family business for over 90 years now. It gives you credibility People know you are not just passing through. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughters, going to church, hiking or relaxing on the beach. I love the outdoors. I drink raw milk and wear barefoot shoes. People tell me I have a Cheshire Cat smile. That’s a good thing, I right? "
