Meet the Business Owner

Rodger D.

Business Owner

I’ve enjoyed a 21-​year career as an electrical design engineer working on a variety of products from mobile MRI scanners, main frame computers, mail processing machines, and a decade of experience designing advanced telecommunications systems. I hold 9 US and foreign patents in my specialization of Gigabit Passive Optical Network, and I continue to work as a electrical design engineer, now through my own consulting firm so that I can stay focused on growing Techsplorers.

In addition to my love of engineering, I have always had a life long passion for teaching. I paid my way through undergraduate school at NC State by starting my own tutoring business, and throughout my career in industry I have always enjoyed mentoring co-​op students from local universities and have taken great pride in facilitating their growth and watching their ongoing success.
