Roger grew up in Council Bluffs, IA and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School. He married his wife Julie in 1981. They moved to Shawnee, KS in 1986 where they raised their two daughters. Roger had a long standing career as a packaging engineer in the corrugation industry for nearly 40 years. His hobbies included his passion for dirt bike riding, camping/boating with family and friends, and rebuilding dirt bikes and hot rods. Roger was a part of the dirt bike community for the majority of his life. A lifetime member of the American Motorcycle Association. He had a talent for mentoring and helping riders develop a knowledge and love for the sport.
