Ron grew up in New Jersey, where he worked in his father's roofing and siding business throughout high school. After graduating, he continued to work for the family company while attending business school. After several years on the roof, enduring both winter and summer weather, Ron decided it was time for a change and accepted a position with a national roofing distributor.
In 1998, he received an offer to become the branch manager of their Salt Lake City operation. Excited for the opportunity, Ron, along with his wife Traci and their two children, Nicholas and Gabi, relocated to the beautiful state of Utah! He managed that location for 6 years before opening his own independent roofing distributor, Roofing Supply Group (RSG), in 2005. The company had a family-owned feel, so Traci joined them in 2008. Together, they successfully opened and operated three locations along the Wasatch Front.
After RSG was sold to a large national distributor, Ron and Traci realized that the corporate environment wasn't for them. In 2017, they decided to start another independent roofing distributor called Travis Roofing Supply. This time, their daughters, Gabi and Samantha, along with a few close friends, helped create that same family-owned atmosphere. However, once again, the company was sold to another national roofing distributor. Faced with yet another significant decision, Ron and Casey knew they didn’t want to repeat the same path of opening a business with the potential for sale. Instead, they chose to own and operate their own roofing contracting business, Pride Roofing & Contracting, LLC.
With over 30 years of experience in the roofing industry, Ron brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and integrity to the contracting business. He has established an excellent reputation for doing the right thing and taking care of his customers.
