Roland Troutman was born to the parents of Bonnie Sledge and Roland Troutman Sr. on October 16th, 1976 in Saginaw, Michigan. Roland's story is one of over coming major obstacles from a very dark life of crime and still being able to survive and achieve ultimate success. Roland's father- Roland Sr- was murdered when Roland was only 16 years old. Today Roland is a professional sales person, author, motivational speaker, and small business owner. He is a proud father of a beautiful daughter and a faithful follower of the Lord ( but not in the traditional sense).
