He was named Virginia author of the year in 1991 by the Virginia College Store’s Assoc. for "Beyond the Barrier: The Story of Byrd's First Expedition to Antarctica," which is described in detail at the book's web site: www.byrdbook.wordpress.com. He also wrote a business book, “Flying High: The Story of Boeing and the Rise of the Jetliner Industry.”
Rodgers earned a B.S. in chemistry and served a grad school apprenticeship in science writing. He served as Public Information Officer for the U.S. Antarctic Research Program for two years. He spent most of his career in the electric power industry, working for Westinghouse Electric Corporation (where he was Director of Public Relations for the company’s research and development center), Virginia Power (one of the country’s largest electric utilities), the Department of Energy, the trade association of the nuclear power industry, and the Cooperative Finance Corporation (CFC), which lends money to electric co-ops.
On his own, he launched and published a newsletter covering research and development in the electric power industry. In addition to his work in that industry, he has been a speechwriter for the top executives of IBM and United Technologies. His freelanced projects include an op-ed solicited by the Wall Street Journal and a major address for the head of the Electric Power Research Institute.
