Roger Larochelle was born and raised in Manchester but there were forces that compelled him north even with a series of jobs that had him hopscotching all over the place in his younger years the constant tug of the White Mountains and the Lakes Region exerted a gravitational pull that was irresistible, especially when his love Jennifer Kent Larochelle came into the picture. Together they have spent a good part of their lives conserving natural resources: Nurturing Kids and Conserving Land. Jennifer as a teacher in one of the last two room school houses in New Hampshire and later in the Newfound School district; Roger as the director of a unique program for boys at risk called The Mayhew Program - in many cases working with boys from the very same challenging neighborhoods where he grew up.

Roger would later sign on as the director of the Squam Lakes Conservation Foundation and dedicate his time to protecting the resources of the Squam Lake watershed through purchases of land, development rights, conservation easements and other conservation instruments.
