When Rozier was four years old, he avidly watched nightly newscasts in his home state of Minnesota. For his birthday that year, he asked to meet his idol: KMSP-TV news anchor Robyne Robinson, who agreed to meet him after his parents drove almost five hours to get to the news station.[2] Rozier attended Virginia High School in Virginia, Minnesota, where he was involved with student council, National Honor Society, Key Club, the student newspaper, and choir.[3] In his senior year of high school, he was selected as a delegate to represent Minnesota at the American Legion Boys Nation event, where he got to see President George W. Bush.[3]

In 2007, while a freshman at the Missouri School of Journalism, he joined KOMU-TV in Columbia, Missouri, as a reporter; he later became an anchor as well.[4] In 2010, Rozier was one of five winners of the Pulitzer Center YouTube Project: Report international competition with his reporting project Guatemala: The Culture that Crawls.[5] He graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in radio-television journalism, where he was the master of ceremonies.[6]

After college, Rozier joined KHQ-TV in Spokane, Washington, in May 2011 as a weekday reporter and weekend anchor.[7] His feature report, called The Eyes of a Hero, aired on Veterans Day in 2012 and focused on a local artist who drew portraits of fallen soldiers for their families.[8] In 2013, Rozier won a National Edward R. Murrow Award for his reporting on the story, earning KHQ their first ever national award in company history.[8] The story also earned an Emmy Award nomination for "Feature News Report - Serious Feature" at the Northwest Emmy Awards in 2013.[9] On September 15, 2013, KHQ aired his feature report on two brothers who climbed Sloan Peak 40 years after their father vanished from the same mountain, called The Climb for Closure.[10] In 2014, the story was nominated for two Emmy Awards at the 2014 Northwest Emmy Awards and won a national award from the Society of Professional Journalists.[11][12]
