Ron's Story
Life
Left Hinkley HS 3rd quarter of my junior year â my parents moved into the Cherry Creek School District and I finished out at Smoky Hill.
I was involved in choir since 8th grade and received a voice performance scholarship to a school in Oklahoma. Blew out my vocal cords and was in a pretty serious car accident my freshman year. Took some time off and started at CSU in Fort Collins â graduated in 1993. Married that same year.
Took a job with Hewlett-Packard and developed a damn good career out of that. Picked up a MasterâÂÂs Degree in Management during my 9 years with HP.
2001 ...Expand for more
- at the age of 31 - life crashed. Laid off with a large downsizing, divorce, meningitis â a few of the things that occurred in that 12 month span. Hit bottom hard - spent quite a bit of time dancing with demons of my past and cleaning out the skeletons from my closets.
Been a slow journey to a good place in life now. Happily married, have three awesome girls, and have work as Software Program Manager. I have remained in Fort Collins since arriving here back in 1989 to start at CSU. ItâÂÂs not bad. One day I am going to live somewhere where there is no snow and with a beach out my door.
