During his early 20s, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and French and then went on to obtain his Master of Arts in English, writing his thesis on a Jungian interpretation of Alice Walker and Margaret Atwood. After graduation, Ron entered the world of medical publishing, utilizing his editing and technological skills as a Manager of Internet Services.
In 1999, his role-playing article, "Fires in the Sky" was published in Wizards of the Coast's Dragonlance: Legends of the Lance newsletter and his fantasy story "Such Sinners We Are" appeared in the Winter 2000 issue of Welcome to Nod.
More recently, his fantasy story "Ghost Trails" was published on Ultraverse and his science fiction story "Toynbee's Gate" placed 5th out of 143 stories in the 2004 SFWoE contest (Science Fiction Writers of Earth contest) while his Magic: The Gathering articles have appeared on StarCityGames.com, Brainburst.com, Grimmoire.com, and MTGOntario.
In 2006, several of his Magic The Gathering articles appeared in Beckett Magic: The Gathering magazine and in Inquest Gamer. He also wrote six web articles for Wizards of the Coast's Dreamblade miniatures game and has had over a half dozen "how to" writing articles published in the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America's Bulletin.
In October 2007, Ron published his short story collection "The Jovian Gate Chronicles" on Lulu.com that is also available on Podiobooks.com. "The Jovian Gate Chronicles" is a collection of four science fiction short stories that answers the question: What happens when humans cross paths with intelligent aliens who claim to be prophets from God?
While looking to find a publisher for his fantasy novel "Dorothea's Song," Ron is keeping himself busy by producing The Magic Sock Magic: The Gathering podcast, writing gaming and "how to" technology articles, and on learning how to be a good father to a rather curious preschooler and his baby sister.
