Palmetto Campus

A Loving Hands graduate, Ron Erie now serves as Program Director of the Palmetto Campus. Ron came to Loving Hands in 2018 broken and desperate for change, and through fully surrendering his life to Christ he graduated from the program in 2020. He was promoted to Resident Director of the Dade City Campus in January 2022, became its Program Director in January 2023, and in January 2025 stepped into his role leading Palmetto. Ron's story is a living example of the Gospel lived out through a surrendered life, and what God has done in him continues to inspire hope in the men he serves each day. His life verse is John 1:12.
