Roger Morford
My work tells stories - usually other people's stories. In sound.
I am a broker, the middle-person, a conduit between story-teller and listener.
Bringing their stories to life is a privilege
My passion is to inform and entertain. I have ambitions for future projects to discuss social history, community, and popular culture.
So far, I've had an opportunity to learn, to experiment, play, and take risks.
