Teaching

Ron focused most of his instruction on developing a doctrine for shooting called "Reactive Shooting Science", which he termed "the earliest way to get a hit and then do it again". He taught for various academies, for his own Practical Shooting Academy, and in 2013 founded the Tactical Performance Center as a destination training academy centered around developing and teaching Reactive Shooting. He and others at the school created numerous videos on the Tactical Performance Center YouTube channel that document the details of Reactive Shooting.

In 2007 Ron did a shooting seminar and practical course for the Bulgarian IPSC team, who was going to participate in the World Shoot France that same year.

Death

Ron died on February 23, 2019, at the age of 62 from cancer,[3][4] and was remembered at the 2019 USPSA National Championship in St. George, Utah on Sept 24 2019.
