Gary D Rogers

Gary Rogers was born and grew to adulthood on the Texas Gulf Coast. He was the second of two sons who were raised by parents who maintained a lifelong mutually committed relationship, in a stable working-class home. He was blessed to be raised by an extraordinary Father and loving Mother – and he thought it was all so normal. However, he would eventually learn that far too many were deprived of the childhood they deserve. He would become convinced that he had the responsibility to share what he had been given with those who were denied a relationship with a healthy Father . It is that thought that was the genesis of his writing and speaking career.

As a young man he left College and went to live in the inner city of Brooklyn NY. There he came face to face with the ravages of poverty and the crime, drugs, and violence that poverty begets. He saw first-hand how the poor schools entrap the children in a system from which they had little chance of escaping. He learned of the state-run welfare system that systematically drove the men out of the home leaving the mother alone to raise her children in these crime-ridden neighborhoods. It was here that he began to understand that the problems we face will not be fixed by government, that the answers must come from among us.

Upon graduation from college with a Master of Science degree in Aquatic Ecology he began a career which centered around the stewardship of our water resources. He first worked as an Aquatic Biologist doing environmental consulting. He is currently working as a consultant to industries that use large quantities of water, assisting them to effectively utilize water resources and minimize the impact of operations on the environment. For a period of 12 years, he owned and operated a custom home building business that built high quality custom homes. He served as President of the Texas Panhandle Association of Builders where he was chosen as Builder of the Year in 2004. He earned a Certified Graduate Builder designation with the Nation Association of Builders and served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Texas Association of Builders.

He has been blessed with a wonderful family, a loving wife of 45 years, three great children and one rather precocious grandson. Gary feels that he was blessed to have been raised in the family that he was and seeks to utilize his writing to share the valuable life lessons they taught. He also feels fortunate to have been raised in the greatest country the world has ever seen. He has a passion to protect and preserve our culture so that future generations will enjoy the freedoms that he enjoyed. His passions are the love of his family and the love of his country. He believes that America is great because her people are great. His hope is that they will all live life to its fullest and accomplish all that was meant for them to accomplish.

In his writings, he seeks to share his rich life experiences for the benefit of everyone. The blessing of family, the experiences of life, and the hard times he has walked through have all blended to forge a perspective which he shares with his readers. He has a passion to: inspire authenticity in men, equip women and men with workable life skills and perspectives, and to empower a healthy culture of fatherhood.
