My name is Ron. I love to add significance to people's lives by sharing the science of supplementation, the sourcing of sacred oils, and supporting the strengths of our community of global Wellness Advocates. I am a native of Porter County having grown up in Hebron. I have a bachelor's degree in Communications. I worked in the mental health field for several years and also in the banking industry as a small business banker and loan officer. My wife Kim and I have been married for nearly 27 years. We have two grown children. Our son is married and currently serving in the USMC. Our daughter is in graduate school and is a rowing coach in Washington DC.

In 2007 we incorporated and began construction on Inspiration Wood, our 60-acre retreat center which we ran for several years as a tourism destination. Since 2017, we have changed our focus from tourism to wellness and implemented programs such as essential oil education, nutrition and supplementation, yoga, guided meditation, journaling and jewelry workshops, and strength education and training.
