COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – An Omaha man killed in a plane crash on Interstate 29 in western Iowa this week headed an Omaha, Nebraska, investment advisory firm and brokerage and was a longtime Iowa State University supporter. The Omaha World-Herald reports John Warren Rogers was president and CEO of Westchester Capital Management in Omaha.

Authorities say the 65-year-old Rogers was flying the plane that crashed Thursday morning shortly after taking off from Eppley Airfield in Omaha. Rogers’ flight plan listed Trinidad, Colorado, and Chandler Arizona, as destinations.

Rogers graduated from the Iowa State University’s School of Architecture and studied finance with the Securities Industry Institute and the Wharton School of Business. He was a governor of the Iowa State University Foundation, a lifetime title that indicates he was a university supporter.
