Ramone became Principal in February 2026, succeeding John Brand who founded the College in 2012. Raised in a home with a Roman Catholic mother and a Lutheran father, Ramone’s upbringing was predominantly Catholic. He always had a steadfast belief in Christ as the Son of God but it was not until his late teens that he began to understand his need to surrender to Christ and receive salvation through faith alone. Going to University aged 18, Ramone received his first Bachelors in Business Administration. Unfortunately, Ramone lost his mother whilst at university so he decided a change of environment would serve him well. Therefore, in his early twenties, Ramone went to live in Southern California with family where he got involved in the Calvary Chapel movement. Returning to the UK in 2007, Ramone attended Bible College in York gaining his first Bachelors in Theology eventually serving at the college. Ramone then spent time on the mission field in various locations including Holland, Romania, Mexico, and Egypt gaining experience working with different cultures, religions, and people living in abject poverty. In 2010 Ramone followed the leading of the Lord to serve at a church plant here in Scotland. He became both the assistant and then associate pastor before moving homes. He and his family then attended a local Baptist church where Ramone served as a deacon for 3 years. During this time Ramone began to experience significant loss of sight. In 2019 Ramone decided to go back to education at Highland Theological College achieving his Bachelor’s with Honours in Theology with an emphasis on Church history. In 2025, he was awarded his MRes (Master of Research by Highland Theological College, for his research on the subject of Robert Bruce of Kinnaird and the Resilience of Presbyterianism in Scotland 1610 – 1637. Married to Sharon, with a daughter and the likelihood two more little ones being adopted, Ramone finds his life extremely busy, but fulfilling as he serves the Lord at the College and as the Pastor of a small fellowship in Kirkcaldy, in East Fife. If there is ever any spare time Ramone very much enjoys fishing, photography, travelling, hillwalking, church history, and sightseeing.
