Raised in central Kentucky, Ron first experienced the Grunewald Guild community as an Intern for the Summer Program of 2013. The vibrancy of the Guild community would draw him to stay on as an Artist-In-Residence. He later moved to the Plain Valley to work for three years on staff as the Facilities and Grounds Supervisor and teach on the Summer Faculty. Ron currently still resides in the Plain Valley, where he lives as a stay-at-home parent in a tiny home with his spouse and young daughter.
