Ron Fulford Jr. of iBALL4LIFE founded in 2015. Growing up in Minnesota, he played a lot of basketball and hosted numerous types of events. Ron started to emcee at the age of 16 for youth day church services and rapping in a group with his brothers entitled “Profound”. They performed gospel rap music around the Twin City area at college and church events. Using his emcee ability, it opened up opportunities for him to become a showman for basketball and training camps featuring iBall4Life and school basketball clients around the metro area. Ron took his emcee ability to the next level by hosting charity events in 2018-2020 at sold out local recreation centers to now becoming the director of the Timberwolves Academy.
