Wisconsin native and lifelong Green Bay Packers fan Ron Clements married a Chicago Bears fan from Peoria, Illinois. Despite one of football's fiercest rivalries, Ron and his wife, Patti, have managed to make it work—and they've shared plenty of adventures along the way.In March 2018, the couple embraced life on the open road, setting out to explore America full-time in their RV. That same year, they visited all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums. Their travels have taken them to each of the contiguous 48 states, where they enjoy discovering new destinations, attending baseball games, and exploring national parks.A veteran journalist with more than two decades of experience, Ron has written for USA Today, Sporting News, CBS Sports, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Omaha World-Herald, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Fresno Bee, the Montgomery Advertiser, and numerous other publications. Following his service in the United States Marine Corps, he attended East Carolina University, graduating summa cum laude.Ron and Patti have two adult sons, RJ and David, and a four-legged traveling companion named Maverick. With a home base in Florida, Ron has made the highways and backroads of America an essential part of his life—and the inspiration for his writing.
