Ron lives in a Geodesic Dome that he and his wife built with lots of help from family, friends and a few contractors in the early 1980's. Their O'Fallon, Illinois home is almost in the country, although the subdivisions have certainly gotten close to the back door!

Videography keeps Ron busy when he isn't writing or tinkering around the house being jack of all trades, master of none. 20 years in the television broadcasting industry ended at the turn of the century. (He got out before the Internet really put the fear in those folks.)

Three years as a medical photographer helped put Ron on track to a healthier lifestyle in the 70's. Watching patients in surgery can really strike fear in the heart!

Computers and the Internet have become Ron's hobby. He enjoys doing research, crosswords, and donating rice on "freerice.com" by playing the vocabulary game.

With GM's international presence behind the sleek, quick, high-tech machine, it could make a global impact.

America impressed the world with Yankee ingenuity during most of the twentieth century. More recently, the U. S. of A. taught the world about marketing. From selling cigarettes ...
