Born in Southern California in 1952, Ron was born to be a performer. He was a puppeteer, ventriloquist, magician and actor, who was fascinated by Walt Disney’s Disneyland and so was born his dream of one day performing at the park. Ron got his first theme park job in 1970, and over the ensuing 40 years he’s done it all – writing, directing, consulting, managing and performing for multiple production companies and in eight theme parks and five themed restaurants across America.
Some of his roles were as the comic in Disneyland’s Golden
Horseshoe Revue, King Henry 8th in 1520 A.D. Medieval Restaurant,
the strolling Dreamfinder in EPCOT Center’s Journey Into
Imagination, creative supervisor for Universal Studios Florida’s

Exhibition. Today, Ron makes his home in Central Florida where he
keeps busy writing, acting, doing voice-overs and consulting on
media and themed entertainment projects.
