Bio

Ron is a member of the Quechan Indian Tribe of Yuma Arizona. In February 2013, he founded OrgScience, Inc., a management consulting firm focused on corporate technology, strategy, and implementation. His doctoral dissertation research was conducted in 2012 on the Fort Yuma Arizona Quechan Indian Reservation and this work is titled, ‘The Influence of Language on Culture and Identity: Resurgence of the Quechan Native American Tribal Language’.

Dr. Sheffield has worked in the technology space for more than 29 years. His industry experience in technology ranges from the Federal Reserve System, to Bank of America, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, General Electric, the United States federal government, and many global corporations.

His first “real job” was in 1989 as an F-15 electrician at Warner Robins Air Force Base in Georgia and it was here that Ron learned to appreciate the exquisite balance of theory and practice. While he spliced wires in the cockpit of these powerful machines, it never left him that a human would fly, possibly perish, and simultaneously feel the powerful emotion of freedom from the work he was performing.

As a perpetual learner, Ron appreciates perseverance and resilience in all aspects of life. A “non-traditional” student from the start, his formal education is merely a supplement to what he has learned from many others.
