Born in 1949 in Alexandria VA, Ralph graduated from George Washington High School in 1967 and accepted a basketball scholarship to George Washington University. In 1988, Ralph moved to Hilton Head SC where he married Malgosia in 1993 and inherited daughter Marta, age eleven. Malgosia and Ralph relocated to Charlottesville VA in 2005 and Chicago two years later. After 10 years of the Windy City, the entire family moved to rustic New England.
As of this writing, Ralph lives in quaint Salem NH surrounded by his loving family - wife, Malgosia, daughter, Marta, son-in-law, Brian, and granddaughters Zosia, Lilia, Anna, Maya, and grand pup, Teddy.
