Andrew Ronald23 February 2026
I'm Andrew Ronald, founder of Simirity and father of two. Like many of the families I write for, mine is spread across continents — which set me on this path. Over 7 years building Simirity, I've conducted primary research with hundreds of families: surveying, interviewing, and studying what genuinely strengthens family bonds across distance and generations. My goal is simple: help your family feel closer, whatever the miles between you.
