He is currently in the Dissertation writing phase of a PhD at Florida International University.

As an undergraduate, he studied Economics and Spanish (double major) at Brigham Young University. He is bi-lingual (Spanish) and has advanced fluency in Portuguese.

Ronnie has taught courses in business management, law, and international relations at various universities.

Outside of the classroom, some of Ronnie’s passions include spending time with his family, playing and coaching baseball, hiking in the Blue Mountains, and mountain biking.
