Married for 18 years, Jon and Suzi are thrilled to be raising their five children in Parkland. Jackson, 15, is a sophomore at Douglas High School. 13 year-old Sammy is in the 7th grade and Nate, 11, is in the 6th grade at West Glades Middle School. Anna, 10, and Eve, 8, enjoy their classes in the 5th and 2nd grades at Park Trails Elementary School. Chocolate lab, Tally, is also an important family member.
Jon is a general contractor specializing in custom home building, and built the family’s home where they have been for 13 years now. Formerly a stay at home mom, Suzi just recently started working with a medical recruiting firm in parkland.
Jackson was kept busy with recreational sports through middle school, but now he enjoys spending time at the beach surfing or fishing in lakes around town. His brothers Sammy and Nate play on the pee wee Rangers team, and are currently in their 4th year with the league. They both also play recreational basketball and baseball. Anna and Eve were cheerleaders for the Rangers in past seasons, but took this year off. Eve also plays flag football and soccer. Jon has kept involved as an assistant coach with most of the kids’ sports teams, including the Rangers.
Suzi says, “We love going out fishing on our boat (you could check here for used boats in perfect condition) any free weekend we have and spending time in the keys. We have a lot of family locally so we try to get together as much as possible.” Her parents, Jon’s parents, his three siblings, and their kids all live within 10 miles of each other.
“The best part of living in Parkland is being in a small town,” Jon shares. “It’s great to have our kids grow up where everyone knows each other and they’ve been around the same kids their whole lives. Knowing that there is always someone looking out for you and your kids is a great feeling.”
The Rogers’ attend St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Lighthouse Point where their children also attend CCD.
