Adapt Earlier,
Adapt Appropriately,
Be the Fittest.

"Ron, you have been an excellent resource and inspiration to many over the years. I believe you will continue to be an awesome source for professional guidance in your new endeavor.  Give me a yell if I can ever be of assistance."

"Ron is particularly gifted in identifying goals/objectives, communicating them clearly and planning for the individual steps required for successful achievement. Ron maneuvers stressful and demanding situations with ease and never flusters. He is a kind, friendly and enjoyable person to be around. Ron is one of the strongest professionals I know and I recommend him strongly!"

My experiences in the Marine Corps and with Diplomatic Security have offered me the opportunity to work with a great number of inspired and dedicated individuals. Ron's wealth of experiences and core values have shaped him into the security professional and fine leader that any organization would be lucky to have.

Ron often reminded me that Darwin’s definition of the fittest, as in survival of the fittest, is those organisms that best adapt to the changing nature of their environment. Ron has adapted many times throughout his life when disruptive change occurred. You can trust Ron will succeed, because he will learn anything he needs to learn, or build any tool he needs, in order to accomplish the goal. In a world that is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, adaptability and creativity are essential in order to thrive. Ron has these qualities and draws them out in others.

"Holloway's _Antifragility _is a very timely read to help unpack, understand and navigate the firehose of bad news and global chaos."

Ron uses real life examples to contextualize his principles and provides actions individuals can take to turn crisis into opportunity. His content is relevant and easy to digest.
