Ronald W. Glensor, Ph.D., has transitioned from the world of textbooks to writing that blends humor with eye-opening stories. After years of co-authoring works like Community Policing and Problem Solving, Ron now brings a fresh, entertaining approach to topics that span the hilarious journey of generations and the wonders of our universe—along with its potential extraterrestrial visitors. His latest book, Flushing Back: A Whirlwind Journey Through Generations, takes readers on a hilarious trip through the fads, technology, and quirks that defined each generation, from the Greatest Generation to Gen Z.

In his upcoming work, Why Aliens Won’t Stop at Earth for Gas, Ron embarks on a cosmic adventure, blending fascinating facts with witty storytelling to explore the mysteries of space. With humor and captivating tales, he invites readers to marvel at the vastness of the universe and wonder what those potential alien visitors might think of our little blue planet.

While Ron enjoys making readers laugh, his curiosity about human nature has led him to explore darker, more mysterious themes. In Hunting Shadows: Serial Killers Among Us, he delves into the chilling world of true crime, offering a fascinating contrast to his lighter works.

Before finding his stride in humor-infused storytelling, Ron served as Assistant Chief of the Reno Police Department for over 35 years. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps and the Nevada Air National Guard, he has taught at major universities and trained agencies worldwide in community policing. Now, he uses his diverse experiences to inform his writing, helping readers enjoy both the funny and the insightful, as well as the more sinister side of human nature.
