Ron joined the team after the sale of his business, Auction Software Inc. At Jason’s request Ron became an investor, board member and mentor to PermaTrak in 2014 - the objective being to provide some of the business experience and financing lost with Tim Beach’s death. Ron started his business career in the 60’s with electronics in Silicon Valley, then moved to plastics with Mobil Chemical in the early 70’s. In the mid-70’s he was intimately involved with a startup company that developed the stretch wrap palletizing business. After a 20-year career as VP of Operations with Lantech, it had become the leader in its field. In 1994 Ron started a software company to support independent auto auctions nationwide, growing that company to a dominant 80+% market share. In 2012 he sold that business to a consortium of the users.
