Ron's professional music, A/V, film and sound recording background
Growing up playing trombone and alto saxophone for band and orchestra in the Hamden Connecticut School System, Ron started playing in and recording rock bands while going to Fairfield University on a hockey scholarship in the mid 1970s. After college Ron moved to Newport Beach California to play bass in the punk rock band The Lobsters with his friend Robert "Trebor" Smith. Upon returning to New Haven in the fall of 1980 he became friends with drummer Kerry Miller and formed The Astrobeats. Then in 1982 when Ron was doing live sound for New Haven band October Days, he and Kerry met Gabriel Cohen and formed the band Valley of Kings. Valley of Kings shared a loft with Mark Mulcahy and Ray Neal with Mark booking bands at the local nightclub The Grotto and Ron was the Grotto's house soundman. Ron and Kerry helped Mark and Ray start their band Miracle Legion playing bass and drums for their early recordings and shows. Then Ron worked in the late 80's and early 90's at Platinum Island Recording Studio, 676 Broadway NYC as an assistant engineer with his friend and now legendary engineer Oz Fritz and owner Richie Kessler and worked on many major label albums by Meatloaf, The Replacements, The Ramones, PIL, Omar Hakim, and the B-52's. The photo here is of Ron and Oz at Platinum Island doing a guitar overdub for a Cameraface recording. He has a B.A. in Music and Sound Recording from The University of New Haven and worked full time as Engineering Supervisor for Nexstar Media Group's New Haven ABC Television affiliate WTNH Channel-8 and UPN affiliate WCTX Channel-59 for 13 years. Ron then worked for 13 years as an Executive Educational Representative for Music & Arts Inc, the band and orchestral company, selling and installing Avid Pro Tools recording studios and music labs in schools all over the country. Since 2017 Ron has been working full time at Yale University Library Preservation and Conservation Department running Yale's in-house SAMMA Digital Migration System, digitizing rare collections of audio, video and film for the Gilmore Music Library at the Yale School of Music, Yale's Oral History of American Music OHAM, the Yale Historic Sound Recording Collection HSR, The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript, The Yale Fortunoff Holocaust Testimonial Collection, The Sterling Library Manuscripts and Archives Special Collections, the Yale Film Archive and the Yale Museums.
