Cultivate equanimity and live with grace

Ronnie is the IT Manager everyone dreams of: can-do attitude, quick to respond, friendly, motivated, and always gets things resolved. There has been multiple times I had to asked Ronnie and team for some oddball request for help with an impossible due date. Time and again, he took my walk-up request, formulated it into a ticket, and solved my problem quicker than should be possible

-- Jeff Polczynski

Ronnie is an excellent leader and mentor. He leads by example and is not above getting in the trenches and working side by side with his team. He is very knowledgeable and is an asset to any organization he is apart of.
