Ronald was born in Alabama to a preacher and a librarian. He has two brothers, one older and one his twin. He attended Union University in Jackson, TN where he met his wife and best friend, Bekah. They were married in August 2007. In 2008 Ronald graduated from Union and began as full-time Youth Minister at First Baptist Church Lexington, TN. He’s been to Fuge as a camper, staffer, and youth minister bringing his own students.

Ronald is the father of Sophie, who loves playgrounds and peppermints, and Penny, who loves waking up at 3 am. It is Ronald’s life goal to live a God-centered life, be the best possible husband in the world to Bekah, the greatest father his girls could ever imagine, and then, with all that’s left, to be a youth minister who honors God in all things.
