Meet The Man Behind The Scene

Ron grew up in East Cleveland, Ohio where he was exposed to the arts at a young age. By getting involved in the performing arts and playing organized sports gave him a productive way to keep himself off the rough streets of East Cleveland, where many of his neighborhood peers were involved in gangs and other unfulfilling activities. Ron became a member at the East Cleveland Community Theater and caught the acting bug and stayed active throughout his adolescent years. He also got numerous bookings as a print model through his local talent agency which kept a few dollars in his pockets.
