Monroe Boat Club
presents the
2012 Commodore Rodger Dutton

Rodger was born December 1, 1961 in Andover, Ohio on Pymatuning Lake. His interest in boating started at a young age, and sailing with his father out of the Pymatuning Sailing Club. Rodger moved to Milan Michigan where he graduated from High School in 1980. After high school, he spent one year at Lake Superior State College, then transferred to the University of Toledo and graduated with an electronic engineering degree in 1984.

After graduating from UT, Rodger moved to Ottawa, Illinois to work for Libby Owens Ford Company at their glass manufacturing plants. In 1990 he transferred to the LOF Technical Center, located in Toledo. At this time Rodger moved to Monroe where he still resides. After two more years with LOF, he moved on to Ford Motor Company where he is currently employed.

Rodger hadn't sailed much since his younger years, but he was asked to crew on the Tuesday night races at Monroe Boat Club. After crewing for 6 years and enjoying MBC as a guest, he decided to join the Club in 1996. This is also when he bought his own sailboat. During this same time, he met his wonderful wife Carolyn. Carolyn had never sailed before but learned quickly and grew to love the sport. She is a registered nurse, and graduated from the University of Detroit. In 2002 their son Brandon was born. He is also active in boating. Together they race and cruise on their current sailboat White Star.

Rodger has served as the MBC Sail Fleet Captain in 1999 and 2000. He also served as Dockmaster in 2009. He has been very involved with MBC through the years. Rodger earned his Master's Captains license in 2007.

He looks forward to representing and leading this great club through the next year as your Commodore.
