Ron obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics from Messiah University (Grantham, PA) and a MBA from Liberty University (Lynchburg, VA)

After college graduation, Ron joined the family business, Jones Plumbing, Inc. in 1993 and became President in 2000. His passion for Christian missions led him to establish Strategic Global Endeavors to encourage, equip, and empower businesspeople to fulfill God’s mission in their lives. Through SGE, Ron trained hundreds of businesspeople in Ukraine, Russia, Poland, and many other countries.

In 2012, Ron sold his business and joined Assemblies of God World Missions. He has work exclusively in a variety of countries using Business as Missions methods. Ron and his family served in the Arab World until June 2017, where he was able to unlock doors into countries closed to Christian missionaries. They lived in two major Arab cities and established several businesses, while working with others on church planting teams.

Since then, Ron and his family were working in Ukraine. He established Kingdom Business School to help train and mentor Christian entrepreneurs to launch businesses and expand the kingdom of God in Ukraine. Students were then offered the chance to compete for investment loans and ongoing mentoring, to establish their business. The school offered a well-rounded series of classes designed to help a beginner from idea generation to thriving business. Unfortunately, due to the war with Russia, Ron and his family were evacuated to the USA just before the invasion in February 2022.

Ron is the father of five children and married to Amy. Their three youngest children live with them in Pennsylvania. They love reading, traveling, and living out their faith in the marketplace.
