After leaving Pegasus around 1976, Michael Rogala lived in South Lake Tahoe, California, for a year. He eventually moved to San Francisco in 1980, where he met and married his wife, Niki. Together, they had two sons and recently celebrated their 40th anniversary. Michael worked as a general contractor and carpenter for 35 years in San Francisco. Musically, he was very involved as a founding member of the San Francisco Renegades Drum and Bugle Corps from 1997 to 2007, serving as a snare drummer. The corps became one of the top five senior corps in the country, which Michael is very proud of. Now retired, he lives in beautiful Sonoma, California, with his wife Niki, their dog Wilson, and their seven chickens. He is also actively pursuing other musical projects, working in upstate New York with the "Brothers of the Gray Bus," as well as local musicians in California.
