Authentic

My life has not been a fairy tale, but oh, the stories I can tell. In fact, I told my wife one story too many, and she told me to write a book. I am working on the book, but in the meantime, I would love to share some of my experiences as a blind man who has spent 30 years working to transform how people with disabilities can move and experience their communities.

RON IS:

A community champion

Whether it’s my own journey or insights about the powerful impacts that we can have on the mobility of our customers and constituents, I would love the opportunity to share with your organization in a way that will encourage, motivate and perhaps challenge your employees, Board members or other audience members to new levels of engagement and performance.

funny

Within 15 seconds of a speaker beginning their address, the audience either locks in or checks out. I use humor as one way to connect and bring energy to the audience.

If you are searching for a speaker to bring energy to a virtual or in-person event, such as an annual meeting, board meeting, banquet, or some other organizational event, you have a challenging assignment with extremely high stakes, and the win or the loss comes really, really fast.

Innovative

Ron relies on assistive technology on a daily basis. From screen readers, to wayfinding and to autonomous vehicles and beyond, Ron can speak to the trends in technology that are making his world more accessible.
