Roderick Saxey

Roderick Saxey is a retired physician living in Indiana. Interests include Science, History, Archaeology, Anthropology, Religion, Theater, Art, and much more. Early exposure to the classics led to an appreciation of Homer, Shakespeare, and Twain as well as more recent authors like Tolkien, Michener, and Heinlein.

He loves classic plays and movies, especially comedies, musicals and westerns. Favorite actors are John Wayne, James Stewart, Cary Grant, and Fred Astaire, but of course the list should include more recent actors such as Patrick Stewart, Kenneth Branagh, Rex Harrison, and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Saxey's experience as a missionary to Austria for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints greatly influenced and guided the trajectory of his life and thought. He obtained degrees from Brigham Young University and George Washington University Medical School, served 12 years in the United States Air Force, and worked for many years in various medical practices, hospitals, and service settings. But of all places he has been and things he has done, being at home with family remains the best. He and his wife, Lisa, have six children and ten grandchildren. And did I mention the dogs?
