has fond memories of his school days, playing baseball and

ambition was to become a lawyer. In 1972, he received

for the Constituency of Weyburn and served one term under Roy

Arts
Centre. At present, Ron is the president of the Weyburn Chapter

law is a less costly, non-adversarial approach to resolving family
law issues such as custody and division of property. Having served as an MLA, Ron gained insight
into the operations of government bureaucracy. His clients
benefit from his experience in matters involving government agencies
and bureaucratic red tape.
Ron attends
