Pastor Roger was raised in Buffalo, MN on a small farm. He enjoyed a simple and steady home life along with a vibrant church life and student ministry. He was baptized at the age of 17, and began to serve the Lord at camp, church, and lead a Bible Club at school. After High School, he pursued an education in Canada, Chicago, Crown College (Bachelors in Education), and Charlotte (Masters in Apologetics).
At Crown, he met Cindy and they began their life together in Bloomington as teachers in private Christian Schools. In 1985, Roger and Cindy left Minnesota for ministry in Lancaster, PA, and Fremont, NE. After 26 years of fruitful student ministry, Roger answered the call to come as Lead Pastor at Living Rock Church in 2011.
Roger's interests are in the field of apologetics and evangelism, and anything outdoors (especially golf). Cindy teaches music at First Lutheran, Glencoe, and privately at home.
Roger and Cindy have three children and two grandchildren.
