He has a JD from Touro College of Law in Long Island and a bachelor of science in communications from Pace University, New York, where he was awarded the prestigious Curtis Owen Writing Award for Short Story Fiction.
Ron is married and currently resides in the Kansas City suburb of Independence, Missouri, with his wife Carmen. Born and raised in the area, he has spent the better part of his life there except for his time in military service and during his graduate and postgraduate education years while working and residing in Long Island, New York.
Ron is a decorated veteran of the US Army where he served as a platoon leader with the First Infantry Division in Vietnam. His work, education, personal travels, and military service experiences have taken him to numerous locations throughout the United States and the world.
Well of the Three Sisters is Ron’s first novel in a planned trilogy. Being of Native American heritage, he has a particular interest in Native American culture and is a frequent visitor to the sprawling Arizona desert. He loves the American Southwest particularly the areas of the great Navajo and Hopi Reservations, which much of the novel has its setting.view less
