About Ron

I've worked for 23 years in nonprofit aging services management. I hold a Masters Degree from Chapman University in Healthcare Administration and Business Management. I currently run a 360-resident retirement community near Santa Barbara and teach (part-time adjunct) at USC in the Davis graduate school.

While I don't have military experience myself, I have a deep appreciation and respect for our men and women who do.
