About the Author

Rob Rogers is an attorney and author from Orlando, Florida who writes analytical and creative nonfiction. His first notable publication was an article in the Virginia Environmental Law Journal about unintended consequences of water diversion structures, which was published while he was in law school serving as an Articles Editor for the Florida State University Law Review.

During his 20 years practicing law, Rob has published articles analyzing cases for legal websites and publications, including Law 360 and Communications Lawyer. Rob rediscovered his passion for creative writing in 2024 after experiencing mental health problems and coping with them by backpacking. After writing an article about his experiences, he was encouraged and inspired by other authors to turn the article into his first book, Finding My Way Home: Fighting Depression Backpacking in Central Florida.

Since then, Rob has continued to write articles about hiking, backpacking, travel, and coping with depression when not practicing law. He also writes a blog, the Central Florida Backpacking Desk Jockey.
