Ronald J. Kennedy was born June 3, 1949 in Chicago, IL on the westside of Chicago, better known as the 'Windy City.' It was here where he grew up and raised along with his other three siblings. He felt blessed to have survived the rough & tumple streets of the hood. But throughout grammer and high school, Ron have always held an interest in the arts, regardless of what form. Visual arts, performing arts, or music, Ron was involved in one way or another.

Married 26 years to wife, Cathy, (that explains the bald head) with two grown daughters, Chastity & Danielle, still at home who I just can't seem to get rid of. (I was thinking maybe I'll send them out shopping, and when they returned, the house will be empty!) Currently, holds down a job in St. Charles, IL. Hopefully, between book writing, music, online businesses and God on my side, I'll be able to take an early retirement and enjoy doing the things in life, that was intended for me to enjoy.
