Ron is an amazing teller with the gift of "back porch" telling that holds the listeners 'til the very end. He crafts his "tall tales" so well that you are sure everything is absolutely true. Then the zinger at the end of the story let's you know he is just spinning another tale or sometimes....it leaves the ending to your imagination.
He is on the organizing committee for the Magnolia Storytelling Festival and other Roswell storytelling events. He is a great master-of-ceremonies as well as a gifted teller and knows and tells about Roswell and this area of Georgia as no other teller does.
