"I went into structural engineering because I always wanted to point to a building and be able to say 'That’s one of mine.' I may not be designing buildings personally just yet, but Ruby+Associates has already given me the opportunity to work on several interesting projects. I am looking forward to many more with this incredible team."
Ron has lent his talent to a number of diverse projects, including several automotive, and some heavy lift/rigging jobs. He has also participated in a large scale roof truss reinforcement, for which some of his work has become part of the our new standard procedure.
In his spare time, Ron, like several other people in the office, enjoys golfing or practicing in order to maintain his 3 handicap. He coaches a high school varsity men's golf team and a women's junior varsity golf team. In 2019, he was honored with the Engineering Society of Detroit Distinguished Service Award, in part because of his active participation within the group's golf outing committee. In 2020, Ron was elected to serve for a two-year term as the Industry Relations Director for ACG of Michigan's Construction Leadership Council.
Ron holds a BSE and MSE from the University of Michigan in Civil Engineering with a focus in structural design. Ron is licensed as a Professional Engineer in Michigan.
