Ron received a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from The University of Texas at Arlington and was a member of the Sigma Gamma Tau, Aerospace Engineering Honor Society. Ron was employed by L3 Technologies Aerospace Systems in Greenville, Texas. He began his 20 year career with L3 in the Sustainment Engineering group, as a Structural Liaison Engineer, developing aircraft structural repairs for discrepancies discovered during aircraft maintenance.
