Roger Henson graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in Civil Engineering. He started working for the City of Cheyenne Engineering Department, then headed east, ending up in the Omaha area where he worked with Peter Kiewit, a civil engineering firm involved in water/wastewater, commercial building projects, oil/gas/chemical, power generators, industry projects, transportation, etc. From there, he went to McDonnell-Douglas, developers of stealth technology; advanced military aircraft development; missile systems; and other classified programs. It was at McDonnell-Douglas that Roger got into computer science and had top security clearance. He then worked for Raytheon, a global aerospace and defense company where he continued working with computers and had top security clearance. Roger ended his career at West Corporation, a national client-focused, full-service real estate property management firm.

Roger’s cremains were given to the Neptune Society to be commingled with a specialized type of cement. The finished product has been deployed about 3.25 miles off the Florida coast, becoming an artificial reef designed to look like an artist’s vision of the Lost City of Atlantis, creating a new habitat for sea life.
