Ron grew up in a Mennonite community in Indiana, then attended Taylor University from which he earned his BS degree in Computer Science, and more importantly where he met his then-future wife, Julie. Ron’s and Julie’s backgrounds include memberships in Mennonite, Missionary, Baptist, and Assemblies of God denominations. The Lord graciously led them both to embrace reformed, covenantal theology through faithful ministers of the Word. They became members of a PCA church in which Ron served as Deacon for several years prior to joining Providence OPC.

Ron and Julie were married in 1986. Ron continues to pursue his vocation in Healthcare Information Technology with a specific focus on security. Ron and Julie enjoy spending time with their nine children and their families, all of whom live in the Tulsa area.
