Biography

Brief Biography

Roger Hearn earned his B.S. in business management degree at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts in 1978. He also earned an M.S. in business communication at Emerson College, Boston, Massachusetts.

Prior to working with Admiral Robert Garrick at the White House, Hearn worked mostly on fundraising. He worked first for Babson College as vice-chairman of the Trustee's Committee for Major Gifts. He worked for a short time with Wellman Inc., a multi-national textile firm identifying potential markets for American made products to be sold in China.

In February 1980 Hearn began his political fundraising career traveling with the Governor John Connally campaign and serving as Massachusetts finance chairman, Connally for President Committee. After Connally dropped out of the 1980 campaign for Republican nominee, Hearn served as a fundraiser for the Reagan Campaign at the request of campaign director, William Casey. In July 1980, Hearn became the executive assistant to Senator Paul Laxalt, Chairman of the Reagan-Bush campaign. He worked mostly on surrogate scheduling, general requests to the chairman and coordination of Congressional task forces. After Reagan's election, Hearn joined the President-elect transition team as Senate Advisory Committee Coordinator. He worked closely with Richard Williamson, Congressional Advisory director, on Senate priorities.

Joining the White House in early 1981, Hearn was hired for the Counsellor to the President Edwin Meese's staff. He worked as an assistant to Meese's deputy, Robert Garrick, in much the same capacity as he had worked for Senator Laxalt. Hearn worked with Garrick on the placement of Reagan supporters in appointed federal positions, handled follow-ups for Garrick, and assisted with media requests. He left the White House in early 1982.

Hearn currently lives in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts and little is known about his post-Reagan life.
