Who is behind this?

Howdy everyone! I’m Ron, the author of Appalachian Rogue. Born and raised in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. A beautiful place to call home but not exactly a cradle of wealth and prosperity for most. I’ve spent a long time trying to figure out the best way to obtain financial independence, good health and a balanced life all while taking care of this beautiful place we call home. I’ve made more mistakes than I can count. I want this page to be a place where I can share what I’ve learned and hopefully save you some time. If you find value here and this makes your journey better- I’ll consider that a success. Hope you find some pearls.
