RON TRIMMELL

Want to understand how Ron's mind works?

Here's a little insight. He's the kid who drove his teachers nuts (except the writing and art teachers). He's the one who always questioned how things were done and why they had to be that way. He's also the kid who staged backyard dramas, played lead trumpet, got involved in political campaigns, and watched every episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

If that seems like a frightening combination, keep this in mind. He's also been named Copywriter and Producer of the year by the Advertising Federation of Wichita, enjoyed the experience of having venom spit on him by a cobra, and is on the Leadership Team at his church.

Is this the kind of person you want to work with?.

It should be.

Ron came up through the advertising ranks on the copywriter side of the creative table. With numerous awards to his credit, he took over the creative helm at a struggling ad agency in Wichita, Kansas. As its Executive Creative Director, Ron helped the firm become the tenth fastest growing agency in the nation the last year he was with them.

In the "Business World," he has worked on national, regional and local accounts in industries ranging from financial, entertainment, food products and aviation, to chemical production, amusement rides, health care and agriculture.

In support of missions organizations and ministries, Ron has traveled around the world numerous times to produce documentaries on missionaries. He's also directed stewardship campaigns, produced music videos for Christian Rock bands, shot and edited numerous sermon videos, developed web sites for missions organizations and churches, and produced videos for relief organizations.

And if you want to hear a great story, ask him about the "Cobra Incident." By the way, that story is part of what led Ron's heart to a desire to support missionaries.

"After that trip to Tanzania, missionaries became my heroes. I decided if they could go out into the world and do such difficult work, I could certainly use the talents and experiences God has given me to help them in one small way."
