     Introduced to flying in 1965 by his father. Together they flew cross-country in 1968 from Great Barrington, Mass to Los Angeles in a Cessna 140 armed with a Narco Superhomer. Ron started teaching in the early ’70s, mostly at EMT whilst flying Pipers for primary training, and a Bellanca Scout for basic aerobatic training. Ron has authored over 100 different flight safety seminar compilations (both VFR & IFR topics) and has spoken at, or co-produced over 500 in-person seminars all over the Los Angeles basin and San Diego.

Ron is the director and webmaster of SCAUWG.ORG, the airspace, and aviation education website he produces on behalf of the Southern California Airspace Users Working Group. SCAUWG is a group of airspace professionals FAA officials, and stakeholders dedicated to making the L A basin safer to fly. The website features a flight planning application, ChartAware, downloadable to Foreflight and Garmin Pilot, that charts the boundaries and associated safety data (altitudes and frequencies) for both published and unpublished practice areas [Los Angeles and San Diego] and real flight tracks are featured.

Ron is an affiliated instructor with CP Aviation in Santa Paula and is a waivered pilot allowed to fly solo aerobatics in the SZP Aerobatic Flight Training Area. Ron is a member of SAFE, NAFI, AOPA, FAA Safety Team, and SCAUWG.
