- Attended Southeast High School in Kansas City, Missouri, where he met his high school sweetheart, Ellen Gregory.
They live happily ever after in Dallas, Texas, USA presently. - Was performing stand-up comedy at The Hyena Club when a member of the audience approached and gave him some advice after his set. The fellow told Ron that he would get more laughs if he quit telling such entertaining stories. "People in the audience weren't laughing as often as they should so as not to miss part of your story", the man said.
- When doing character research for a part as a homeless man in a TV series, went to a Goodwill Store and purchased old, warn, hand-me-down clothing. The next day he returned wearing the wardrobe, along with beard stubble, and stood outside the Goodwill store watching peoples reactions to his appearance as they passed by. A well dressed lady came up and pressed a crisp five dollar bill into his hand and with quivering voice said; "God Bless You" and drove off in a new Mercedes.
- Joined a carnival for a few days and helped the "Ride Monkeys", as they called themselves, assemble rides for research as a "carney" in a movie. They were not told he was an actor, and the grounds boss told him he had "moxie" and offered him a full time job. After the audition, Ron felt he should have taken it. He's still proud that he has "moxie".
