“You can see Ron's creative mind whirling as you describe the concept you want him to consider. He understands quickly, thinks strategically about communication solutions, asks the really important questions, then produces an impressive result and stays flexible and open to change.”

“I worked with Ron at Tollgrade Communications for two years, and here at Netronome for almost three. He’s one of the top marketing communications directors in Pittsburgh, with strong skills in promotion, awareness, lead generation and tracking, and the best graphic designer you’ll meet (take a look at Netronome.com - he did all of our content and collateral, website, etc.).”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ron for over 18 years. From the beginning he has guided our company from an infant start-up with little marketing and advertising direction to a small manufacturing company that reaches markets around the globe. From magazine ads, catalogs, and brochures, to complete website makeovers, Ron has provided an invaluable service. Our company deals with thousands of manufacturers, both big and small; and I have given Ron’s name to any who have asked about our marketing.”

“I have had the unique opportunity and pleasure to work with both Karen and Ron at different companies. I find them each to be very creative in their approach, confident in their ability to deliver strategically on-target solutions, and self-motivated to manage projects under tight timelines. They have great communication skills and well-rounded experience in many aspects of the graphic design arena. I would highly recommend them for any graphic design project.”

“I’ve known Ron since 1999. He’s a highly skilled, creative, and versatile graphic designer adept in roles from writing content to strategic communications development. I worked with Ron for over seven years and feel that he would be an asset to any company looking to tap his skills and experience as a full-time marketing professional or to take advantage of his quick learning curve and detailed focus on critical, time-sensitive contract projects. From a creativity standpoint, his work is always clever, fresh and focused, yet he is also one of the best technical copy editors I have ever worked with. He wears many hats well. I look forward to working with him again in the future.”

““Having published more than 100 fine art lithographs, I understand the value of a superior designer. Ron has had an incredibly positive influence on my photographic endeavors. In many cases, he was as much the creator of the final image as I was. Many of my photographic prints are the result of several of my images being joined together in a preconceived manner for dramatic effects. Its Ron's Photoshop expertise that makes that all possible. The term "Photoshop Wizard" is reserved for the elite operators in this business. For Ron, it’s well-deserved.”
