Rod graduated Cum Laude in 1971 from St. Louis Christian College in
Florissant, MO. He married Jan Davidson in Ballwin, MO, in 1970. They

Rod was listed in "Outstanding Young Men of America" in
1978. He has served as chairman for Right to Life organizations
in each of the states in which he has lived. While living in Kentucky, he
also served as chairman of "Don't Risk Our Youth" in a political
battle to prohibit alcohol sales in Madisonville, in order to retain
their dry-community status.
Rod has worked on the Dent County Salvation Army board for over 12
years, where he's served as both secretary and chairman. He's also been
secretary/treasurer of the Alexander Christian Foundation, a Christian
scholarship foundation. In his nine years of work with the Dent County

Christ for 33 years, concluding his years in the pulpit with a

and his family have lived for fifteen years. He began working with
ARM Prison Outreach International in 2001. Rod, along with his wife and 3 youngest, homeschooled children,
travels throughout the country-- mostly in the Midwest--
making as many as 100 presentations a year for ARM. He is now in
his seventh year as the National Development Director. Rod is senior chaplain with Phelps County Regional Medical
Center Hospice, serving patients and families in a five-county area
for the last fourteen years. His "hobby" is, and always has been, serving
people. |
