Louis Rohan was born to George and Pauline (Krick) Rohan of Spalding, NE on July 25, 1947. He attended District 19 school in rural Greeley County, prior to attending Spalding Academy where he graduated in 1965.

After high school, Louis earned his barbering license and began working for Mike Naughtin at the barbershop in Spalding.

In August 1967, Lou began service with the U.S. Army.  On December 23, 1967, Lou was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart, Regina Marie Haggerty at St. Michael's Church in Spalding. To this union, three children were born: Mark, Ed, and Michaela.  After Lou's military service ended, Lou and Regina settled in Columbus, where Lou resumed work as a barber.  After their second child was born, they returned to Spalding to farm.  In 1984 they moved to Benkelman, NE before settling in Ord, NE in 1986.
