Dr. Roger Harris, better known as “Trey,” has called Upstate South Carolina his home for over 39 years. Not long after moving to the area, he met Jill, his high school sweetheart, with whom he recently celebrated 31 years of marriage. Together they are the proud parents of Roger (Bridget), Anna Kate, Elizabeth, and Sarah, as well as their dog, Cinnamon.
In addition to graduating from Clemson University, Dr. Harris completed graduate-level coursework in microbiology before later earning his dental degree from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston. As a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DDM), Dr. Harris has been a provider of family and sedation dentistry in the Upstate for the past 28 years.
Outside of the office, Trey enjoys running, coaching soccer, and serving his community. 20 years ago, Jay Martin, a close friend of Trey’s, convinced him to run a marathon. This quickly turned into a challenge for the two of them to run a marathon in all 50 states before turning 50. Starting in Baltimore, MD, in 2006, and ending in Hawaii in 2019, they completed their goal just days away from Trey’s 50th birthday. Their story was even featured in the Winter 2013 issue of Pace Running Magazine. What started as being more actively involved in his daughters’ soccer teams has turned into a passion for coaching. He has served both as head and assistant coach for over 20 years, with both United FC and Eastside High school, including the 2026 Eastside’s men’s team winning 5A Division 2 State Championship season. He is also an active member of Edwards Road Baptist Church, where he has participated in short-term mission trips to Nicaragua, Venezuela, Brazil, Romania, and Nigeria.
