Rogers won a gold medal in coxless pairs at the 1959 Pan American Games with Ted Frost.

Rogers continued to row throughout his life, winning pairs and fours in National age group regattas, and trained on a rowing machine up to the day he died. His career was as an employee benefits consultant, initially for Aetna and then with his own business.
