Ron has been a treasure hunter, junk collector, memorabilia dealer, and discriminating accumulator of curios all his life, and over four decades has amassed a giant collection of stuff, particularly mechanical gadgets and gizmos which lost relevance in an ever-changing culture.

As a retired Senior Pastor with an artistic flair and a continued love of scripture, he’s willing to quote Jesus out of context in His response to Nicodemus’ confusion regarding salvation, to make his point, “Yes, things can be born again when they’re old!” 

Art takes many forms, and Ron’s unique ability to repurpose and reposition cast-away objects into mechanical community, and then supercharge their new lives with technological wizardry has produced an incomparable Entertainment Center for the man who has everything, less this.

The work is slow; each contraption takes nearly a year to construct. Nothing is sketched or engineered in advance. Like most his endeavors in life, Ron makes it up as he goes. He starts with a blank canvas, an empty platform, and aligns and realigns each piece until it finds its proper place in the scheme.

Ron’s fabrication is a labor of love, each one of the hundreds of pieces hand selected and fitted. Physically compromised, Ron’s handicaps makes his craftsmanship all the more stunning. His art is a reflection of himself: imachinations unleashed!

Married to Sandra for nearly 50 years, they share two sons and five grandchildren. Though his wife appreciates his work, she prefers he’d sell all this crap!
