Rockhopper10r is a pseudonym for a Houston, Texas-based librarian.

His user name is derived from his love of penguins, particularly the rockhopper species. The "10r" part of his name derives from his being a self-professed choir nerd; therefore, the name is pronounced "rockhopper tenor".

He holds a bachelor's degree in English literature and creative writing from Saint Leo College (1990) and a master of library and information science degree from Wayne State University (1998).

He was born in Massachusetts and lived there from 1969 to 1981 and from 1990 to 1997. He has also lived in Florida (1981 to 1990) and Michigan (1997 to 1998). He has lived in Texas since 1998.
