Most people are lucky to find one great job, let alone two. Yet that descriptor defines the more than 40 years Roger Pepperl patrolled the produce sector, leaving his mark on both the buying and selling of fresh produce.
His career was split in half between Michigan and Washington and between retailer Meijer and fruit producer Stemilt.

In fact, it was his marketing of cherries at the retail end that led to his position as a supply side marketer.
