The foundation of Ronno's remarkable achievement as an internationally renowned children's singer/songwriter/performer is his ability to unite his strong musical background with his teacher training - and to have lots of fun doing it! Music has always played an integral role in Ronno's life. He spent most of his teens and twenties performing in notable pop/rock bands, along the way co-writing the hit song, "Sitting on a Poor Man's Throne" (as a member of the pop/rock group Copperpenny), and two "new country" hits for Beverley Mahood. Ronno earned his B.A. at the University of Waterloo and his B.Ed. at the University of Western Ontario. Upon graduating, he was inspired to combine his passions for music and education. He immediately launched his new career as a children's performer, songwriter, and educator. In the ensuing years, Ronno has performed all over the U.S.A. and much of Canada. He is proud to be a KIMBO Educational recording artist (www.kimboed.com), and has released nine award-winning CDs for them to date.

Principal Lyricist: To ensure his songs offered up both clever, catchy lyrics and plenty of giggles, Ronno teamed up with Judy Millar, his principal lyricist - and sister! Judy was chosen First International Children's Poet Laureate in 1993, in cooperation with the World Academy of Arts and Culture.

Liz Jones-Twomey is partnered  with RONNO in the creation of Catch A Brain Wave Fitness Fun, Smart Fitness/ Smart Foods, and the Smart Fitness Workout DVD. Together they also present live concert performances of their award-winning, brain-based Daily Physical Activity material. Additionally, Liz is a dynamic workshop presenter who presents both nationally and internationally. She is a practicing Elementary Teacher and Primary Specialist with twenty years teaching experience. She is the recipient of the 2002 International Teaching Through Movement Award (presented by the Educational Kinesiology Foundation, Ventura, CA). In 2003, Liz was chosen to receive both the W.T. Townshend Award for Teacher Excellence (Waterloo Region District School Board, Ontario, Canada) and the Speedo National Fitness Intstructors' Award. Liz is a certified International "Brain Gym" Instructor.
