About Ron

Ron is a fourth generation Wyoming native. He graduated from Laramie High School in 1973 and from the University of Wyoming in 1976. He moved to Shoshoni in 1981 to teach Industrial Education in grades 8-12 at Shoshoni Schools until his retirement in 2011.

He proudly served our community as a volunteer firefighter for 30 years, much of that time in leadership as a Chief Officer. He also worked as a contract instructor for the Wyoming Fire Academy and the Wyoming State Fire Marshal’s Office, teaching Leadership, Management, Fire Officer Development, and other professional courses.

Serving others in times of emergency and disaster was an honor, and those experiences shaped his commitment to public service. Through decades of working alongside community members, He has developed a strong understanding of the challenges our communities face and the leadership needed to address them.

Ron is a former Shoshoni Town Councilman who also ran for Mayor during the previous election cycle. Due to serious health issues, he was unfortunately forced to resign from the council and withdraw from the mayoral race. Having overcome those health challenges, Ron is now ready to fulfill his commitment to the community by bringing his experience, steady leadership, and a fresh perspective to the office of Mayor.
