Ron's Story
Life
My life...hum, would make a great "Lifetime Movie"
After High School; I went to work as a printer. Ran big presses and such. Saw the digital age coming to printing so I started teaching myself about computers. Went to work as a "Print Programmer" and wrote computer code for the printing industry. Made some good money, designing solutions to ripping issues with high speed laser printers. (Xerox)
I've done a lot of bicycle racing over the years. Rode in several different countries, and I have ridden with some of the best cyclist in the world, including Lance Armstrong and Floyd Landis. I was working for the same coaching company that coached Floyd in 2006. (Don't want to talk about that)
I continued to be involved with roller skating after high school. After high school, I became a member of the US National Roller Speed Skating Team...Expand for more
.
In the early 90's we started racing on inline skates (rollerblades) and I skated on several professional teams. Over the last 15 years I've won several US national Championships and several World titles. In 2004 I skated in the Oceania World Championships in New Zealand and set the Oceania World record for skating a marathon (26.2 miles)
I have 2 daughters and 1 step daughter. Amanda (19 yr), Hayley (12 yr), Alyssa (5 yr)
In 2005 I packed up and moved to Searcy Arkansas, 43 miles north of Little Rock, were we built a 20,000 sq foot skating center. Next year we hope to add 16 lanes of bowling on our land next door. We still own a house in Gilberts, Illinois along with our home in Arkansas. I do computer consulting for my previous employer so I fly back home regularly.
Life is MUCH slower in Arkansas, but I enjoy the change of pace.
