After Fairview graduation he attended the fine arts at New York University in New York City, however, he finished his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

Ron was a gifted writer often writing with clarity and brilliance what he could not experience in life. Those who knew him well appreciated his sharp wit and sarcastic sense of humor. He was reflective and self deprecating.

During his life he traveled with family to many countries. These included Russia, Norway, Sweden, Japan, all of Europe and beyond. He also traveled all of the United States during school breaks and summer vacations.
