Ron grew up in Harlowton MT. His parents often took him camping, fishing and hunting. Ron passed this love of the outdoors to his sons.
The family moved to Billings and Ron graduated from Billings Sr. HS in 1961. After graduating Ron worked as a draftsman for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and took classes at Eastern Montana College (now MSU-B).
It was there he met Judy Harmoning, a teacher at Trinity Lutheran School.

Ron was a respected general contractor. Some of his many projects are the remodel the old Custer Hotel, remodel of Lincoln Jr. High that became the administration building for the Billings Public Schools, the Fish & Wildlife Building at Lake Elmo, the family home, and many homes in the area.
God blessed them with three sons: Jason, Jeff, and Jeremy.
