Ron J Ben-Dov

Born in Telaviv Israel. Moved to New York at the age of five and became a US citizen at eleven. Graduate of George Washington High School in New York in 1971. US Navy 1972 to 1975, Merchant Seaman 1982 to 1988. In between I dug ditches, washed dishes, sold used cars, and even drove a cab. Graduated from Elizabeth City State University in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. Motor Fuels Tax Auditor for the State of North Carolina 2000 to 2006, Internal Auditor and IT Control Specialist for a local bank until retirement in December of 2015. In 2008 a life changing event occurred and the flow of faith based poetry has run ever since. I also have an interest in photography which has led to a few photo books.
