Upon graduation from BHS, Ron attended FDU where he
earned a BS in Business Administration in 1958. He worked
in advertising for two years. He became an insurance
adjuster in 1961 for General Adjustment Bureau and managed
their Binghampton, NY office. In 1972 he then switched
sides and became a public adjuster in Syracuse, NY. He
left there in 1977 for Texas where he founded him own
firm, New Life Fire Adjustment Co. He retired from that
in 1994.
Ron says intelligence skips a generation because he never
had any but, has two smart kids. His daughter, Elaine,
was 4th in her high school class of 1600, is a Phi Beta
Kappa, Magna Cum Laude graduate of Baylor University and
has a PhD in clinical psychology. His son, Steve, was 8th
in his high school class of 1176, is a Summa Cum Laude
graduate of Texas A&M University with an EE degree, had a
4.0 GPA and was named their Outstanding Engineering
Student of 1989. He earned his Master's Degree in EE at
SMU. Again with a 4.0 GPA.
Ron enjoys boating, sports, building playhouses and
watching sports on TV, except men's figure skating. He is
a Mentor with Youth Mentor Network, Plano, Texas.
His most memorable moment came when he almost cut his
right arm off when he was 12 years old. The disability he
has had since then reminds him of it every day.
His biggest achievement has been not being killed by
someone because of his warped sense of humor.
