Entertaining has always been a part of Rons life, as well as profound hearing impairment. As a child he was the willing mime and drama rehersal partner for his older sister. His early interest in magic blossomed into a true passion during a chance visit to his first magic shop in Califirnia. Since then, his phenominal skill in magic and entertaining has earned him the local nickname of "Magic Man". He's the winner of the 1999 Curly's Magic competition at the Abbotts Magic get together in Colon Michigan. A town commonly known as "The Magic Capital of the World". His style of visually stunning magic combined with mad capped comedy has earned him the well deserved reputation of one of the areas leading magicians. A well respected magician among Magicians Jay Marshell summed it up after Ron won the Curly's competition when he said

"Yea, He's got it!"

I was born and raised in Kalamazoo Michigan. I'm blessed with being the next to the youngest of 5 siblings (3 brothers and 1 sister). The reason I say I'm blessed is because I couldn't have asked for a better family to grow up with. My mother Julane and my father Mitchell (Harve) are great loving parents who where always there to help us if and when ever we had a problem. For some reason, my sister April and I both have profound hearing impairment. As a child I was profoundly hearing impaired but as I'm getting older, my hearing is decreasing to the point of deafness. I can't honestly say that my hearing differance isn't sometimes annoying, but for the most part it's easily delt with because of my good fortune of having great friends and family in my life.

I think it's partly because of my hearing differance that I have so many hobbies. I've always had this inner drive to do things to proove to myself, and others, that I wasn't broken. So when ever I'm was faced with something I'm not suppose to be able to do because of my hearing differance, I have an overwelming desire to accomplish those things.

Some of my hobbies are playing pool (Billiards), Bowling (My average is about 175 now), karaoke, spending time with people, Art (Drawing painting), Reading, Juggling, Wood working, animals/pets, playing the guitar and the saxaphone, fishing, comedy, then the biggest (Hobbie) in my life, Magic.

When I was 17, one of my older brothers passed away. While we where in California for a memorial service for my brother given by the Air Force, I found my first magic shop there. I've been doing magic every since and I'm now a professional magician and have won some magic compotitions. I feel that this is one of my biggest accomplishments in my life as far as profession goes. I still thank my brother Paul for me finding magic. I know in my heart that he had something to do with me finding that magic shop. - Thank you Paul
