Roger Lim was born on June 4, 1968, in San Francisco, CA. He attended Lowell High and played baseball as a pitcher, and was part of their first-ever playoff victory at Candlestick Park as an All-City junior, but was then forced to overcome a serious career-threatening rotator cuff injury as a senior. After extensive rehab, he walked on to the Dons outfield at the University of San Francisco as a freshman, a squad from which 10 of his teammates went on to sign professionally. He transferred to Cal State East Bay to start in left field, finishing as the Pioneers' second leading hitter.
After a disagreement with his head coach, he ultimately relinquished his most crucial year of eligibility and returned to USF to earn his Bachelors in Psychology in 1991. As it turned out, his stints at catcher and third base for various college and semi-pro teams around California garnered tryouts and attention from Philadelphia Phillie, Seattle Mariner, and Major League Scouting Bureau camps. Roger ultimately settled in Los Angeles and enrolled in commercial acting classes, and has added directing, producing and writing starting in 2003.
