Personal Values and Interests

Originally from Chico, California—hometown of NFL great Aaron Rodgers and Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.—Ron was the youngest of seven children. He credits his strong work ethic and dedication to education to his parents, who instilled those values early on. Ron is especially proud of having put himself through college debt-free while working full time, ultimately earning a degree in Chemistry.

Outside of work, Ron is an avid endurance athlete who enjoys running and mountain biking, often competing in local and regional races. Family time is a top priority, and life at home with his wife and children is full of energy and joy. When he’s not outdoors or with his family, you might find him catching a romantic comedy at the movie theater or enjoying a good book at Barnes & Noble.
