DENVER MOORE was a dangerous, homeless drifter who grew up picking cotton in virtual slavery. RON HALL was a successful art gallery owner. Although worlds apart, their destiny collided when Ron's wife DEBBIE insisted that Ron join her in serving food at a local Dallas homeless shelter. As soon as she met Denver there, she had a vision that Denver would change the city, and that her husband must befriend him. Sadly, she didn't survive cancer, to see the incredible result of the unlikely friendship that she initiated.
Their story, immortalized in the New York Times best-selling book, Same Kind of Different As Me, inspires people to take off their racial, social, and economic blinders in order to find common ground with others, especially the homeless. This life changing encounter has been featured on many television and radio shows such as CNN, Fox News, and NPR. Same Kind of Different As Me, a story of hope and redemption, became a word of mouth hit and a New York Times bestseller, that stayed on the list for more than three and a half years.
Today Ron lives in Dallas with his wife Beth and in addition to art dealer he wears many hats including speaker, author, artist, and cowboy. But, his favorite is that of grandfather to four little girls who affectionately call him Rocky Pop.
