OnAirFundraising^® President Roger Gomoll has been occupied in the field of public radio since 1975. His first 23 years were spent in various roles with Minnesota Public Radio: arts reporter, board operator, classical music announcer, field recording engineer and producer, on-air fundraising manager, and station manager. In 2000, he became a DEI On-Air Fundraising consultant.  Roger has been with PRI since 2004 and works as Manager Distribution Services. He also serves on National Public Radio’s Distribution and Interconnection Committee.

Roger is a classically trained tubist and pianist, and plays in several musical ensembles. He is a lifelong pilot and holds certificates for glider, single and multi-engine airplanes, and is instrument rated.

OnAirFundraising^® CEO Elizabeth Gomoll has been an avid listener and supporter of public radio for more than three decades. While serving as Executive Director of the Rochester (MN) Symphony Orchestra & Chorale, she directed annual on-air fundraising weekends on a local commercial radio station. Under Liz's eight years of leadership, the RSOC Radiothon raised nearly a half-million dollars in contributions from individuals and businesses.

Elizabeth was awarded regional recognition as an exceptional non-profit administrator. She has also done successful work as a grant writer and development professional. In addition to managing the business side of OnAirFundraising LLC, Liz is a professional flutist and performs in several ensembles. She earned her private pilot’s license in 1992 and was active in the Ninety-Nines, a women’s pilot organization.

Roger and Elizabeth are often seen in each other’s concert audiences.  When not performing music separately or together, they may be flying their beautiful blue open cockpit biplane, a 1928 Travel Air 4000. Their family includes three amazing children and their delightful spouses, seven (so far) adorable grandchildren, and a small red bird named Buster, who enjoys demonstrating that life sounds better when accompanied by canary.
