Rowland Cocks grew up on a farm outside Montgomery, Alabama. After he married his wife, Cindy, they move to Atlanta where they have happily called home ever since. They love spending time with their four children – Delaine Brannen, Jenny Yoder, Chip and Michael) and a growing number of grandchildren.

As a teenager, Rowland struggled in his walk with Christ because he did not see other teenagers living victorious Christian lives consistent at church and at school. However, after switching schools, his life changed forever when he made friends with a strong peer believer who led by example. Because of this, Rowland loves how TeenPact puts morally excellent young people in leadership positions to provide godly examples for the younger students to emulate. This dynamic changed his life and the lives of many others. Through TeenPact, he enjoys watching students grow in confidence, leadership abilities, and spiritual depth as they move up in leadership levels within TeenPact.

When not working as the Chief Financial Officer for the Fountain Companies, Rowland stays busy gardening, watching Alabama football, and keeping up with his wife, Cindy. With her love of adventure, they’ve tried sky diving, hang gliding, bungee jumping, and scuba diving.
