Born in Appleton, Wisconsin, a young boy of 10 years old experienced a profound and transformative connection with nature, a moment that would forever alter the trajectory of his life. This pivotal encounter sparked a lifelong fascination with fossils, leading him to make numerous groundbreaking discoveries that would set him apart as a world-class expert in the field.
As his passion for fossils continued to evolve, so too did his understanding of biological evolution, which became a driving force that has guided his life's work ever since. In the early 1980s, he discovered Aikido, a martial art that would not only become a source of physical discipline but also a metaphor for the harmony and balance he sought to achieve in all aspects of his life.
Throughout his career, Ron has been a pioneer in his field, making significant contributions to the study of human sensory systems and early childhood development during his time at the University of Wisconsin's cybernetic lab. He then embarked on a new venture, forming a film production company that produced high-quality programs for public television.
In the mid-1980s, he relocated to Boulder, Colorado, where he acquired Centre Communications, a video distribution company that would become a cornerstone of his professional endeavors.
