His consistent focus is on connecting people, building teams, modeling teamwork, equipping leaders, and encouraging believers.

Ron is highly relational, has just recently been married, and fills his life with a variety of ministries to church, family, and a wide network of friends.

Ron was born and raised in Woonsocket, RI. He has a Doctor of Ministry from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary with an emphasis in Christianity in the Workplace. He has a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary and Bachelor of Biblical Science from Western Bible College (now Colorado Christian University), Denver, Colorado.  He served in the United States Air Force for four years. 

Ron was ordained at the First Baptist Church of Narragansett, RI, and has served in a pastoral capacity in three New England churches, most recently as Pastor of Adult Development at Grace Baptist Church, Hudson, MA, the largest Southern Baptist church in New England. His responsibilities at Grace involved overseeing and equipping a wide network of volunteer staff who minister to adults.  These ministries included Sunday morning classes, small groups, a variety of affinity ministries, and men's ministry.  Though Ron was not the preaching pastor, his preaching (eight times per year) at Grace Baptist was well-received.  

In addition to these responsibilities, Ron leads small church ministry teams to India.
