In 1965 Ron joined the Clackamette Mineral and Gem club. He attended lapidary classes for making cabs, lamps, and tables using a variety of minerals.  Ron was inspired by many shows over the years and took up wire wrapping as a passion.  Having the flexibility of shapes and varieties of minerals Ron perfected his craft.

In 1993 Ron and his family moved to the coast.  On the coast he became a member of the North Lincoln Agate club where he was a member until 2014.  He is a self taught wire wrapper and is considered one of the best.  Rons passion for the craft has turned his items into one of a kind work of art.
