Amazing but true: Ron wrestled professionally, worldwide, under the name of Ron Martinelli in the 1970's and 1980's. At the height of his wrestling career he suffered a near fatal, career ending injury. As he was leaving a dry cleaner s, a vehicle ran directly into him, pinning him and crushing his legs and lower torso. He was rushed to the hospital ICU and left, months later, in a wheelchair, for what should have been the rest of his life. Doctors said he'd never walk again - only for Ron to prove them wrong! He not only walked again, but resumed his professional wrestling career winning the Continental Wrestling Association Heavyweight world title in 1980!

His overriding message is this: Who says you can't do it? Who says you can't achieve your dreams? Who says you'll always be a loser and a quitter? God is telling you, YOU CAN! You can win over troubles. You can fulfill your dreams. You can achieve your goals. You can be a WINNER!
