Roger Hector started at Atari, way back in 1976.  As an all-round creative designer, he was originally hired by Pete Takaishi (Industrial Design Manager), before working for George Opperman (Art Department head), and then finally for Al Alcorn (VP R&D).  He managed Atari's Advanced Products Group and helped create the fabled Cosmos system before leaving to co-found Videa (later renamed Sente Technologies) with Howard Delman and Ed Rotberg.  Since then, he's worked for several prominent companies - Electronic Arts, Walt Disney, Sega, and Namco Bandai... and he's not done yet!
