Adventurer, Author, Speaker, and Encourager Ken Rogers

Someone once told me the definition of Hell: "The last day you have on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become." - Dan Sullivan

Ken Rogers has spent over four decades in sales and small business ownership while chasing that haunting quote. But instead of surrendering to comfort, he's pedaled towards courage.

Alongside his lifelong friend Steve Anderson, Ken became the first to bicycle all forty-eight states with no prior long distance bicycling experience--raising funds for the initial five wishes in Make-A-Wish Minnesota history. Years later, this same duo made history again by pedaling UP the mighty Mississippi River for seventy-two days and well over 1,000 miles, becoming the first ever to achieve this pedaling milestone.

Ken now shares these epic adventures and the lessons that can benefit you with audiences of all ages. He blends humor with hard-earned wisdom on everyday courageous living. the joy of committing to a physically active lifestyle, and the grounding power of faith and tradition.

He lives in a small town near Rochester, Minnesota with his beautiful wife Robin and their three precious children nearby.

What they are saying about me or my book

"I believe that the reason that you speak with such heartfelt passion and genuineness on a subject that we all struggle with and care about...being courageous...is that people like me are moved somewhere deep in their soul. The next time that I struggle in my day at work or at home I know that I will remember the image of you slashing through and against the current for twelve hours a day 'on purpose' as you made your own dream come true!"
