Early Life
Ronan Summers was born in Ireland on February 12th, 1983 to an Irish father and a Russian-American mother. Because of his mother and father's upbringing across two countries, the United States and Ireland, Summers spent most of his childhood frequently traveling between the two countries to visit his extended family.

Summers' parents divorced when he was three-years-old, and this separation caused Summers to reside with his mother in New York, NY. His father remained in Ireland during this time.

Throughout Summers' childhood, his mother would allow him to travel as an Unaccompanied minor to Ireland to be with his father, during holidays. When Summers approached his teenage years, his father expressed desire for Summers to reside long-term in Dublin, so that he would remain deeply rooted in his Irish roots, and with both his mother and father's approval, Summers relocated to Ireland and continued schooling there.

After finishing high-school, Summers was accepted to the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, in Wales, UK, and graduated in 2004 with a Baccalaureate of Arts in Acting, with Honors. After graduating, Summers began his career in London, England.
