After high school Rodger enlisted into the United States Navy and served his country for four years.

He also worked at the Marion, IL veterans Hospital for two years before accepting his present job for the Department of Corrections to work at the Dixon Springs Boot Camp. Many wonderful people have accompanied him along this trip we call life and have help mold him along the way. God has been his constant companion and has held the pen on his writings. Rodger believes that laughter is the best medicine and he enjoys lots of it. The writing of this book began in 1987 after he was diagnosed being BI-POLAR. This book is the culmination of many sleepless nights and adventures along the way. God in his infinite wisdom gave him this disorder so he could be creative enough to create these writings.
