Roger became a Christian in 1987. Shortly after he began to study and teach creationism in 1989. First he taught the junior high youth group, then later adults. This was after reading The Lie by Ken Ham and John C. Whitcomb’s The World that Perished: these two books set Roger on the path of knowledge. Since Roger was already a geologist, creationism was the most obvious choice of study.
By 1993, Roger entered the Graduate School at the Institute for Creation Research (ICR). Through arduous study supervised by his adviser, Dr. Steve Austin, Roger acquired his Master of Science degree in Geology by 1998. A summary of his field thesis was presented and published at the Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Creationism.
He is married, has two college-aged children and currently attends Christ Covenant Church, Houston, Texas.
Over a span of twenty-five years Roger has gained much diverse experience in many applications of geology: oil and gas exploration, geothermal, subsurface grouting, erosion control, groundwater remediation, and environmental assessments. He is a State of Texas certified Professional Geoscientist (P.G.)
As a college level instructor, Roger teaches his students that the first rule of science is simple observation. At various churches Roger has presented the following topics:
- Mt. St. Helens
- Plate Tectonics and Noah’s Flood
- Rocks of Our Lord, Our Lord Rocks
- Rocks of Creation and Noah’s Flood in Texas and Beyond
- Flood Chronology
- General Origins
- Dinosaurs and the Bible
Education:
B.S. in Geology from California University of Pennsylvania, 1982.
M.S. in Geology, from the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), 1998.
From 1997-2001, Roger served as President of the Greater Houston Creation Association.
