RON RICHARDS

Ron Richards spent more than twenty years dodging dandelions as he and his family navigated the difficulties that come with cancer and mental illness. 'Dodging Dandelions' is both the fulfillment of a promise made to his late wife, Sara, and a commitment to himself to help others manage the dandelions in their lives in a positive manner.

While 'Dodging Dandelions' is his first book, Ron has been a writer, professional communicator, and public relations executive for more than thirty years. The Ohio native has spent much of his career working in sports and entertainment, but he also has held communications and PR leadership positions at major consumer product companies, in the media, and in healthcare.

When not writing, he works with clients through his Castle Rock, Colorado-based Mitchell Canyon Communications practice. He received a journalism degree from Colorado State University and his master's degree in Sports Administration from Ohio University. Richards and his second wife, Lisa, met through online dating site eHarmony and split time living between Denver's southern suburbs and Lakewood Ranch, Florida.
