Meet Ron

With over 12 years as a Juvenile Probation Officer, I've seen firsthand what happens when warning signs go unnoticed.

I created Youth Pivot to share field-tested insights that help parents and caregivers identify concerning behaviors before they escalate.

My mission is simple: give adults the tools to recognize warning signs early, when intervention can still change a young person's trajectory.
