Roger and Kathleen married in July 1995. They created a blended family that included five children ranging in age from 20 to 8. The family was blessed with musical talent that encouraged and strengthened their ties as a family.

It didn't take long for Roger and Kathleen's love of children to become further evident as the couple adopted their son, Walter from China in 2001. Eli, also from China, joined the family in 2004. With their ever-expanding brood, you can often find the couple at concerts, ballgames, and track meets supporting the activities of their children.

Roger and Kathleen are pleased that Jeremiah's Crossing is truly a family mission. Each of their seven children, and their daughter-in-law, have contributed their time and talents to the success of the ranch. They have shared their expertise in various fields and have encouraged their parents to continue to follow their dream.

God has truly blessed this family with a heart for children and a passion to help them be the best that they can be.
