From 1968 to 1972 Pastor Ron served as a Navy Corpsman in San Diego, Hawaii, the Philippines and Vietnam. Feeling gifted at the task of minor surgery he set his sights on becoming a heart surgeon.  However, while still serving in Hawaii, Pastor Ron met Christ in a very profound way. His life was transformed and soon sensed God directing him to become a "spiritual heart surgeon", specializing in helping people find new life in Christ and growing in grace each day. Since 1973 he has served as a youth pastor and an Assistant Pastor in Hawaii and California. He was ordained in 1983 in Colorado and has pastored in three churches since.  He is also a retired business owner/administrator of ten years to a Care Home for the disabled.
