He attended Santa Clara University (CA) and Pacific University (OR). He is very passionate about working with these men as they grow and develop as student/athletes. It is truly amazing to watch them enter the program being unsure of what will be expected out of them, and by the middle of the season they have improved self-confidence. The relationships that the coaches have the privilege to develop with the players and their families is truly amazing. Coach Pinder considers himself truly blessed to receive a nickname from the players each year. Roger has two kids, a son Tyrell (30) a daughter Brianna (26) and two grandchildren, Sean (6) and Cheyenne (1).
