Rocky Progano is the President and Founder of MediaCOM Inc., a full-service video creative content production company based in Stamford, Connecticut, specializing in both commercial and personal storytelling projects. He has been a member of the New Canaan Society (NCS) New Canaan leadership team since 2010, helping to encourage men in their faith and spiritual growth.
Rocky began his career in television and video production as a cameraman in 1982. Over the years, he expanded his expertise in lighting, directing, and production, working with Fortune 500 companies on a wide range of corporate and broadcast projects. His work has taken him around the world, producing segments for Good Morning America, NBC News, and CBS News.
As his career developed, Rocky served as a Director of Photography and producer on projects for The History Channel, HBO Executive Forum, and CNBC. Along the way, he had the opportunity to work with notable figures, including television legend Jack Paar, Candid Camera’s Peter Funt, and actor-director Ron Howard, among others.
Rocky was raised in a God-fearing home and was very active in church from a young age. However, a series of life events eventually led him down a difficult path. Married in 1980, things became even more challenging, yet his wife, Sandy, never stopped loving him or believing in him.
Although Rocky had accepted Jesus into his heart in 1974, he eventually realized he could not change his life on his own. He rededicated his life to Christ and surrendered his struggles to Him. From that point forward, God began transforming his life in even a greater way.
Today, Rocky is grateful for God’s grace and seeks to encourage others through faith, prayer, and community. One of the verses that continues to guide his life is Ephesians 3:20:
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works within us.”
Rocky believes the prayer room is where men slow down, seek God together, and witness Him doing far more than we could ever ask or imagine.
Rocky and Sandy have been married for over 45 years and are thankful for their growing family, including their 3 children and 4 wonderful grandchildren.
