Roller-Pigeon.Com: A Work Of Passion and A Dream

Since January 2004, RPDC has been published and operated by the husband and wife team of Tony & Joni Chavarria. Originally of Southern California, in 2005 they relocated away from the rat-race and went 2000 miles across the country to settle into the small quiet country town of Seymour, Missouri where they now run and operate RPDC full-time in a more relaxed country setting.

Before setting out on this new journey, both Tony and Joni were successfully employed as Operations Managers each at their respective employers enjoying and thankful for their careers and responsibilities. However, the call of owning a business of his own - especially one started from his favorite pastime, was too much to get Tony to settle and cash-in his hopes and dreams for the “security” of a weekly paycheck. Enter Roller-Pigeon.Com.

The Dream Comes To Life

While there were other roller websites available when his quest began, at the time, nothing appealed to his desire for a practical, useful, well-designed website with good materials that could generate “buzz”.  In this he saw a rare opportunity to present the roller community with a both a “serious and fun” website full of fresh ideas, approaches and concepts. So, Tony brought his passion for debate, love of writing and his ideas into the site where fortunately it was met by a great group of site visitors in just the right combination to produce Roller-Pigeon.Com.

But at first, it was not easy or cheap. Before RPDC became what it is today, Tony and Joni invested thousands of dollars into web-programmers who could never quite translate his vision to web pages, so finally, not wanting his vision to die, Tony grabbed the bull by the horns and took over the actual designing of web pages, site features and management in order to attain the vision he had for a site carrying the name: “Roller-Pigeon.Com”. Fortunately, once he did so, the site popularity took an immediate upward trend and has not looked back since!

Imitation: The Sincerest Form Of Flattery

In the years since 2004, RPDC has spawned more than one website copycat that has come and gone, highlighting even more Tony’s passion and commitment to his dream, desire, unique experience which making it difficult at best, to copy the blood-sweat and tears it cost in creating Roller-Pigeon.Com’s originality and special connection with its site members and visitors.

The decision for Tony and Joni to jump into the roller fancy entirely feet first and the  selfless  participation of its visitors make RPDC the kind of website it is, a success to the benefit of the entire online roller pigeon fancy.
