In 1961 he joined the growing United Parcel Service in Arizona as a driver.  He became the most productive driver in Arizona.  He came in under the established time standards by over two hours each day.  As a result of this excellent performance, he was promoted rapidly into supervision.  He was made office manager of the small operation and shortly thereafter was given the responsibilities of the shop operation also.  IN 1962 he became the personnel manager and shop manager and handled all the store complaints for retail stores.  In 1963 he was sent to United Parcel Industrial Engineering School and returned to Arizona to take over the Industrial Engineering Department while still managing the shop function.  He was responsible for setting all of the time standards on all Arizona routes.  He instituted building changes to reduce sorting hours and installed conveyor equipment to increase productivity of the sorting operation.

Ron was faced with a serious decision in 1965.  The district manager of the rapidly growing Arizona district gave the choice of being promoted either to more responsibility in Industrial Engineering or in the Shop.  Ron accepted the shop because of his dedicated interest in that occupation.  He was transferred to California and entered an intensive training program for one year.  He opened the Georgia District in late 1966 as District Automotive & Building Maintenance Manager.  In 1969 he was promoted to Assistant to the Automotive Manager in the Southeast Region.  He traveled over seven states in the Southeast and was promoted again in 1971 to the National office of United Parcel Service as Maintenance Engineer.  There he helped develop time standards and maintenance standards for U.P.S..  In 1973 he assumed he responsibility for the maintenance of all U.P.S. vehicles in the United States, Canada and Germany.

Since leaving U.P.S., Ron has been a consultant for over 170 organizations, helping them formulate training programs, install systems and reduce costs.  He has consulted for companies in the United States, Canada, Caribbean, Far East, Europe and South America.  He has consulted for nearly every type of garage including municipalities, state governments, private fleets, regulated carriers, tanker fleets, construction fleets and concrete plants.

The basic reason for Ron's success is his regard for high standards and thorough training.  He expects the maximum from himself and others.  Since beginning a consulting career in 1978, he has become the foremost authority in the Industry on the management of time and tools in the shop function.  He is also recognized for his vast knowledge of all shop activities including purchasing, stocking systems, tires, etc.

Ron was active in the vocational Industrial Club of America and has always been an active participant in the development of new mechanics for the industry, speaking at high schools etc.  As an author, he has written for several magazines and has written several books.  Ron has spoken to over 12,000 people in seminars and meetings over the past 16 years as he conducts and instructs seminars.  As a consultant his work has taken him into the shops of large companies worldwide for evaluation and review.
