Born in Tennessee, Ron came to Michigan as an infant and his earliest dream was to play baseball for the Detroit Tigers and be the next Al Kaline.
Instead, he received a National Merit Scholarship and earned a BA at Wayne State University (Monteith College). He went on to earn an MBA from Michigan State. He once worked for some of the world's largest advertising agencies, and had a distinguished career in public relations and marketing with an international Fortune 10 company.
Although he's been writing and submitting stories since he was 17 (actually selling a few now and then), it wasn't until he left the corporate nine-to-five in 2008 that he started writing full time. He has since authored four well-received books (two of them have been award-winners).
A member of Michigan Writers, the National Writers Association, the Association of Independent Authors (US), the Alliance of Independent Authors (UK) and the American Academy of Poets, Ron's debut novel REICHOLD STREET was a 2012 Readers Favorite Gold Medal Winner that Kirkus Reviews called: "Skillfully written and emotionally charged." ONE WAY STREET, his sequel to that award-winner (and the second book in a planned trilogy) was published in 2014 to a 5-Star review.
Although he admits disliking the winters there, Ron still lives and writes in Michigan with his lovely wife. They've been together almost 45 years and have three grown sons, an ugly mortgage and one very large cat.view less
