Ron learned the value of hard work and skills of farming, hunting, and fishing growing up on the family farm. He attended Hannibal-LaGrange College one year and served in the United States Army Reserves for 10 years. Ron built a large farming operation over 25 years, often impacting farm industry advancements. Following in his father's footsteps, Ron was a well-known fur trader throughout the Midwest.

As an avid outdoorsman, Ron commonly invested in others, sharing his knowledge and love of fishing, trapping, and hunting. He was a member of Show Me Business Builders Organization of Hannibal, NRA, Hull Lions Club and Hull American Legion. Frequently he was a featured guest speaker on local radio stations, sharing home energy conservation tips. Ron was a faithful Christian who loved his God, his church, and his family. He served in various churches touching lives as a youth leader, Sunday school teacher, AWANA leader, deacon, lay preacher, and a committed soul winner. Of late, Ron was a member of Grace Baptist Church in Pittsfield, IL. He was gentle, kind and trusting, benefiting many people with his generosity.
