Ron loved every sport while growing up in West De Pere. He played baseball, football and basketball as a teenager and as an adult. Fishing trips to Canada and hunting with family and friends were among his favorite things to do. He also enjoyed playing cards with his Dad, brothers and friends. Ron loved traveling to Florida with his siblings as a child and to Las Vegas with his Dad when he was older. He passed this love of traveling on to his children and he truly enjoyed cheering for the Green Bay Packers – shouting at the screen every Sunday!

Following graduation from West De Pere High School in 1972, Ron joined his Dad in the electrical business. He attended NWTC under the apprenticeship program and graduated as a journeyman electrician. Through the years, Ron treasured many family members, friends and employees that became part of the company.
