Ron graduated from Corinth HS in 1969 and worked at General Electric in Glens Falls, NY.

He served in the US Army as an aircraft mechanic/engineer, a helicopter door gunner in Vietnam from 1971 - 1975, and then in the National Security Agency (NSA). He graduated from Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas in 1978, where he received his BA degree in Recreation.

He was a Department of Defense employee for the US Air Force, serving in Logistics and as an Aircraft Accident Investigator. His last assignment, prior to retirement in 2007, was with the US Air Force Space Command.

Mac married Cookie Sekula in 1975 and truly enjoyed his home in San Antonio. His life became fullest after the birth of their only son, Wesley. Mac coached Wesleys baseball, soccer and basketball teams for the CYO, the YMCA and the Alamo Heights Little League and Pony League. He cherished the teams he coached and gained numerous friends and relationships from his endeavors. After Wesleys passing, he and Cookie completed Wesleys goal of seeing a game in every Major League Baseball Park.

Mac loved to travel and was passionate about his Great Danes, Schultz, Murphy, Hogan, and Barkley and his cat, Roscoe. He loved amusement parks and especially roller coasters.
