He attended Pembroke College at the University of Oxford and is a graduate of the ranch management program at Texas Christian University. Rockefeller is the father of eight children. He and his wife, Lisenne, maintain homes at Winrock Farms, in Conway County, and in Little Rock.
Rockefeller was elected lieutenant governor of Arkansas in November 1996 in a special election when Mike Huckabee assumed the office of governor after Governor Jim Guy Tucker�s resignation on July 15, 1996.
