About Roger S. Owers
In 1993, after graduating with a civil engineering degree from the University of Arizona, I began my career as a field engineer owner’s representative, inspecting a taxiway bridge at Sky Harbor International Airport. I then went to work for the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community as in-house construction manager, where I served until 1998. In 1995, I also earned a Masters degree in construction management from Arizona State University. As a contractor and construction manager, I built and managed the construction of several million dollars' worth of projects, including residential, commercial, and heavy/highway projects.
Then, I moved to Wyoming to attend law school at the University of Wyoming. I worked my through law school teaching and doing research in the civil engineering department, where I also earned a Ph.D. in civil engineering. I graduated law school in May of 2001 and graduated with the Ph.D. in December of 2001.
Then, I went back to work for the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, this time as in-house legal counsel. In 2004, I went into private law practice, building a practice focused on Indian law, commercial real estate law, and construction law.
In 2014, I decided to alter my career toward commercial real estate, which is where I now spend the majority of my time. However, I continue to practice law and continue to consult in engineering and construction projects.
I like the variety and the challenge that serving in many disciplines brings. Over the years I have served many clients in many situations. Sometimes I help clients prevent problems, other times I help them solve problems. In short, I enjoy it all: commercial real estate, law, and engineering and construction work.
I have also served as a former visiting assistant professor at the Del E. Webb School of Construction at Arizona State University. I am a member of the Construction Law Section and Indian Law Section of the State Bar of Arizona. I am on the Executive Council of the Indian Law Section of the State Bar of Arizona and on the Executive Committee of the ASU Center for Construction in Indian Country. I am the editor of the Proceedings of the 2004 through 2011 Construction in Indian Country Conferences.
