Prior to TPPF, Dr. Roberts was the second president of Wyoming Catholic College, the only private Catholic college in the state and one of the only colleges in the nation to reject federal funds, earning him the moniker of a “cowboy-style Catholic” from the New York Times. Before Wyoming Catholic College, Dr. Roberts founded the John Paul the Great Academy, a K-12 Catholic liberal arts school in his native Lafayette, Louisiana where he served as president and headmaster for seven years.
A lifelong educator, Roberts earned his Ph.D. in American History from the University of Texas.
