Quick Bio

Dave started work as a grassroots organizer in 1990 and is a Political Strategist, Consultant, and Speaker in the Pro-Life, Pro-Family, and Constitutional Movements.  Dave serves at the Director of the Pro-Life Generation and President of the Gulf Coast American Family Association.

Pro-Life Dave authored and introduced the first ever state Personhood Amendment (aka Human Life Amendment) in U.S. History.  It was introduced in Mississippi as a Constitutional Initiative in 2005, which currently is in the form of  People's Initiative 24.   

Dave serves as Director of The Pro-Life Generation, which was created in 2004 to develop and establish Personhood Amendments in key states and to give a voice to those generations who were targeted for death by abortion.

The Pro-Life Generation provides education and tools to the young but rapidly growing Personhood Movement.  Our focus is to organize only in strategic battleground states that give the best chances of passing a Personhood Amendment.

Since 1990, Dave has been an active student of the law, government, English and early American history, and also current political and social issues but nothing can compare to the knowledge and wisdom that God gives.   All of Dave's experiences put together along with the assistance of scholars in the fields of science, law, and history -- gave the inspiration and knowledge needed to properly develop a Personhood Amendment capable of overturning Roe v. Wade. 

The Ultimate Human Life Amendment (UHLA) was first introduced in 2005 and still remains unparalleled in its comprehensive approach to protecting all life, including all unborn children "at all stages of biological development" and its strength to overturn Roe.

The Key to Ending Abortion IS....

They Key to Ending Abortion is to first recognize we don't know how, then to ask someone who does.  Would you agree that God knows how?

If God knows the answer then seek Him out for it.  You can also find someone He told the answer to.

Like many of us, I too have asked God the question why are these terrible things happening in our society.  Since 1990 I have diligently pursued God for answers and "oh boy" did God ever deliver!    

Why the Pro-Life Movement must be a God Movement.
 

Cool Stuff that God has done in My Life....

As a teenager, my youth minister encourage me read the book of James and to do as James 1:5-8 said, ask God for wisdom.  He also encouraged me to make myself "available" to God and to ask God to use me.   While some like to see a bio or resume' I prefer to brag on what great things God has done in my life.  I've been on a most excellent adventure and have lived a most extraordinary life, all because I took the advise of my youth minister.

Let me say that the main goal of life is NOT activist work BUT our relationship with God (first) and others (second).  Injustices in our community have to be addressed and presenting God's view on things within society is also our duty.  Below is a brief highlight of activist work I've been involved with since 1990.

Highlights of Activist Work

Since 1993, Pro-Life Dave has had the great privilege of serving as President of the Gulf Coast AFA (American Family Association). 

Here are past highlights from our work.           www.GulfCoastAFA.com

Work Background

In 1983 Dave began his work in computer repair and programming.  Then in 1992 he added Internet web site publishing to his skills.  He's worked on computer systems for organizations as large as NOAA, NASA, U.S. Air Force, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and Compaq.  Over the years he's had the privilege of serving people as a consultant in many areas such as business, marketing, non-profit & civic work, political & social issues, and church ministry.

Christian Ministry

Dave was fortunate to be raised by parents very active in a variety of ministries including missions, music, youth, discipleship, and evangelistic ministries.  "My entire memory of my life as a child and teenager was filled with working alongside my parents in ministry.  Needless to say it made a very big impact in my life and shaped and formed my lifestyle of living for and serving God."

At the age of 17 (over 25 years ago), Pro-Life Dave dedicated his life into the full-time service God and Christian ministry.  While not a complete list of his work, Dave has worked in Christian radio, TV, youth and music ministries.  Dave has served over 20 years in a variety of Southern Baptist ministries, including over 7 in youth ministry and 5 in college ministry.   Photo (right) is a Spring Break Missions Trip to Houston with the Baptist Student Union of William Carey College.  Over the past 25 years he has also been involved in helping to start, develop, and aid many Christian ministries in South Mississippi, including children's' ministries, youth ministries, and evangelistic efforts.

Since 1984, David Rogers had been a part of an effort to bring Christian Radio to the Mississippi Gulf Coast of which WAOY became our success story.   In October 1996 WAOY 91.7 FM began broadcasting out of Gulfport.  WAOY, an American Family Radio station, is the premier Christian station the Mississippi Gulf Coast and broadcasts at an amazing 100,000 watts FM (that's a very big one).

In the early 1980s David Rogers had been a part of promoting Contemporary Christian Music on the MS Gulf Coast, which was new in our area at that time.  In 1984, backed by major Christian record labels, David Rogers founded a ministry called "Promise Productions" which became well know on the Gulf Coast for providing Contemporary Christian Music DJing for all types of Christian youth events, "PROMISE" the Christian Rock Band, and "The Dave & Kelly Show" - a Contemporary Christian Music Video Show. The show was very pioneering for those days since MTV had only began 3 years prior.  During the 1980s, David had also worked in radio in the areas of production, on-air, and operations.

Our troops on the frontlines are America's ambassadors to that country.  For the people our troops come into contact with, this may be their only experience of the character and values of a real American.

In realizing this I came up with the great idea, that we needed more authentic Christians on the frontlines.  That they, with their inherent ability under God to overcome hardships and to remain true to God's values -- that they would be the best to represent the U.S.  -- that there should be more Christians on the frontlines.  

What a great idea I said and over the next few weeks I kept thinking on this new revelation.  One day I looked in the mirror and said how can this be a great idea for other Christians and not for myself.  If I really believed this to be true -- then I too must go and try to 'be that authentic Christian on the frontlines.'

I grew up in a military family, both my grandfathers served in World War II, my step-grandpa served in World War I, and my father served during Vietnam, retiring as an Air Force officer.  His face went white when I told him I was going into the Marine Corps.  For what branch of the military has more frontline experience than the Marines?!  I felt the frontline is where I needed to be.

My Marine Corps service in my early 20s was cut short by a serious injury.  I was only in about 15 months and served during peace-time (before Panama, after Beirut).  

I learned a lot, grew a lot, and experienced things that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.  In coming close to the limits of what I could do physically and mentally I gained a rare experience that most people will never know.  Like the Olympic athletes who amaze people with their great feats I too experience my own personal summit. 

What I learned more than anything was how fragile life is and even in our top capacities, how much more we needed to rely on and seek direction from God.  That even the most capable, skilled, and talented person, uncontrolled and undirected by God,  is just a spinning top that has no goal except to use up energy and time to achieve a state of ever-changing destinations.
