The Chicago native has over fifteen years of experience filming across the country, managing production studios, and teaching at the collegiate level.

After building, growing, and managing a full video production department at the largest real estate association in Illinois, Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS, for seven years, Rokos is now the Senior Video Editor for Argonne National Laboratories. In his new role, Rokos has managed and produced videos for the Department of Energy, FEMA and his work has been viewed by the president and the senate.
