About

Growing up in California as the youngest of four siblings, Ron followed their lead and trained in gymnastics and dance after school. At 8 years old, Ron moved to a new gym that did not have a Men’s gymnastics program so he took a chance and tried their circus program, Splash Circus. Within months, he fell in love with circus and decided to pursue it as a professional career. 

​

After starting off with aerial silks and rope with Splash Circus, Ron joined San Francisco Circus Center’s Youth Circus at age 10 where he was introduced to Chinese acrobatics such as Chinese pole and hoop diving by Master Lu Yi. Throughout middle school and high school, Ron continued his circus training, as well as studying various dance styles such as ballet, contemporary, tap dance, hip hop, and learning how to choreograph.

​

Ron graduated in 2019 from the École nationale de cirque in Montréal, specializing in Chinese pole and aerial rope along with many other disciplines, and developed a movement style that seamlessly blends dance and circus. Since then, he has performed internationally in major productions with Cirque du Soleil, where he performed numerous disciplines and character work in Amaluna, Amora, and ’Twas The Night Before, as well as appearing on live television such as Georgia’s Got Talent.

 

Most recently, Ron was an aerialist and dancer on Katy Perry’s The Lifetimes Tour, where he is also credited for the aerial choreography. He specializes in flying pole, Chinese pole, aerial rope, straps, and acro-dance, and is available for performances, special events, and creative projects worldwide.

​

Ron has both a US & German passport, in addition to Canadian Permanent Residency allowing him to work in many countries without the need for a visa.
