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. He served as a volunteer pilot for the EAA in Oshkosh, giving rides on weekends in a 1929 Travel Air open cockpit biplane.

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 somewhere low and slow in their bright yellow 1946 Piper J-3 Cub. Their family includes three successfully launched children, seven (so far) delightful grandchildren, and an amazingly loud little bird named Buddy, who enjoys demonstrating that all music sounds better when accompanied by canary.
