Ronald entered the Collision Repair industry in 1971 as a Combination Technician. His extensive previous experience was in Aircraft construction where he specialised in metallurgy technology.

In 1975, he founded Precision Body & Paint, Inc. Since Precision’s inception, the basis of his corporate philosophy stems from a personal commitment and desire to be an industry leader in the Collision Repair industry. Ron’s philosophy incorporates a complete and balanced approach encompassing critical elements of Management; Technology; Marketing; Customer Service; O. E. Certifications; State and Federal legislation and the ever-changing Market challenges within the Insurance industry.

In 1979, 1991 and once again in 2008, Precision Body and Paint’s business model was put to the test. Their belief was that despite the economic down-turn an unchanging commitment would be beneficial when the economy finally rebounded. As a result, Precision opened its one of a kind Aluminum Clean room.
