“I turned to my long-time associate for help. After our dental practice was lost to arson, Michael stepped in to guide us through the aftermath. Michael’s calm approach turned a crisis into an opportunity. He helped us navigate the rebuilding process resulting in a beautiful and contemporary new building.”

“I have known Michael for a long time and have been an active collector of early California plein air painters for decades, such as Thomas Hill and Edgar Payne. When I decided to share my collection through a Southern California exhibition, Michael was instrumental in coaching both me and the museum team. He provided pragmatic guidance on everything from modifying the gallery and lighting to security. Beyond the logistics, he helped us understand the vital role of the catalogue in shaping both the exhibition’s success and my personal legacy. Working with Michael Rogers is truly a treat.”

“Before opening my own design practice in 2012, I served as the Director of Interior Architecture at Richard Meier and Partners in Los Angeles for twenty-four years. We completed and opened the Getty Center in 1997. Michael joined the Getty in 2000 to manage the complex for the Trust. We worked together on many fascinating projects as the Getty Center program continued to evolve. I found Michael to always be well informed, proactive, and decisive. The ultimate steward for Getty properties; he was always engaging with those who were as motivated as he was to craft inventive, lasting, and integral solutions. I am so pleased our excellent working relationship turned into a lifetime friendship. We collaborate on matters to this day.”
