He grew up in Richmond, Maine, and graduated from Richmond High School.  Ron faithfully served his country in Vietnam in the United States Navy.

He drove a truck for JB Hunt for 20 years then drove for Ozark Mountain Leasing providing trucking services to the entertainment industry.  It was easy to give directions to his and Margaret’s house in Summersville, they just told people to look for the JB Hunt truck in the yard!
