Roger is an attorney licensed to practice law in Ohio and Arizona, and he is CEO of Arbalest Group, LLC.

He is a graduate from Cleveland State University, Cleveland Marshall College of Law, and was an Editor of Law Review, and he has earned a Master of Public Administration Degree from Cleveland State University. Roger also holds several degrees from The Ohio State University: a Master of Arts degree in Philosophy, a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, and a Bachelor of Science in Education degree in Secondary English Education.

Roger has worked as a high school English teacher and as a university administrative assistant. On earning a law degree he worked for several years as a Trademarks Examining Attorney with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in Washington D.C., and later worked as an attorney for a boutique intellectual property law firm in New York City.

Apart from his work in intellectual property, Roger served as legal counsel to Stephen L. D’Andrilli, where he assisted in various legal and administrative matters affecting Stephen’s security consulting and criminological research companies.

Moving to Phoenix, Arizona in 1991, Roger worked in the Insurance Defense Section of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, and later worked in the Legal Services Division of the Arizona Department of Corrections. Thereafter, he was in private practice.

On returning to Cleveland, Roger worked as a freelance attorney aiding two Federal Court Appointed Receivers in prosecuting a major federal securities fraud case. After that, Roger practiced general law before focusing on federal and State firearms issues.

Roger’s goal, working full-time on the Arbalest Quarrel website, involves preparing comprehensive and detailed analyses of case law pertaining to First and Second Amendment issues, and analyses of Federal and State laws and bills impacting the Bill of Rights, generally, and the Second Amendment, particularly.

Roger takes as axiomatic that, to maintain a free Constitutional Republic, our Bill of Rights must be preserved. If the latter falls, the former falls.
