The Vision Behind Black Blocks Is A Journey Forged in Purpose & Passion. From the strategic boardrooms of healthcare and global e-commerce to the dynamic sidelines of a basketball court and the quiet discipline of a writer’s desk, David E. Rogers’ journey is a testament to a life dedicated to building, teaching, and creating. It is this unique tapestry of experience that has culminated in the vision of Black Blocks. For David, “Black Blocks” is not just a game; it is a profound calling — a powerful response to a need he observed both as a professional leader and as a dedicated family man.
The Architect of Success: From Corporate Acumen to Creative Innovation. David’s professional career spans over two decades of rigorous operations management, project leadership, and vendor relations. His 15+ years as a Project Manager honed his ability to orchestrate complex initiatives, meet ambitious timelines, and optimize processes for efficiency and impact. As a Seller Enablement Manager for Walmart’s online marketplace, David currently brings invaluable expertise in e-commerce, market dynamics, and customer-centric strategies directly to the launch of “Black Blocks.” His academic foundation, an MBA specializing in Finance and Marketing from Bethel University, and a Purdue University degree in Telecommunications provide the intellectual depth to complement this extensive practical experience. Yet, David’s building extends far beyond the corporate realm.
He is a prolific creative force, having authored 13 published novels and secured a major publishing deal with HarperCollins (New York, NY). This unique insight into crafting compelling narratives, understanding market resonance, and navigating major industry partnerships is directly infused into every aspect of “Black Blocks.” His independent entertainment company, REGI, further underscores his entrepreneurial spirit and ability to bring creative visions to fruition, including the production of 3 short films.
A Leader, An Educator, A Builder of Legacies At the heart of David’s diverse accomplishments is an unwavering passion for learning and teaching, especially when it comes to Black History.
This commitment to empowerment through knowledge is the very soul of “Black Blocks.” As a former high school basketball coach, David understood the power of strategy, teamwork, and inspiring young minds. His success, marked by a career winning record and consistent league titles, reflects his ability to cultivate talent and drive results — qualities now wholly invested in the “Black Blocks” movement. A devoted family man with two children in college playing basketball, David views “Black Blocks” not just as a product, but as a legacy. It’s about providing tools for the next generation to understand their past, shape their present, and build a prosperous future. Join David in Building the Future, One Block at a Time.
