Ron and his wife, Janet, reside in Mebane, North Carolina and are members of Crosslink Community Church. He is a retired senior scientist with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency where he has authored nearly 300 peer-reviewed journal articles and literally hundreds of national and international presentations on environmental issues. He has held academic appointments (UNC-Chapel Hill) and staff positions with private institutions on this subject matter. As an evangelical Christian, Bible student and teacher, he brings this same zeal and energy in developing structured studies on unique subject matter. Having served in numerous church leadership and teaching roles for various Southern Baptist churches in the Research Triangle Park area of North Carolina for more than 30 years, he is using this writing/teaching ministry to share what he has learned from personal Bible study. One goal of his effort is to help local and regional churches needing instruction in specific topic areas. He invites you to make suggestions for study topics. When his schedule allows, he is open to working directly with your church staff for on-site instruction (teaching). The materials he has developed will be provided without cost with the exception of procuring any copyrighted material for class distribution and normal travel expenses if he is available to be present during their use.
