Naples Illustrated recently recognized Ron and his past involvement with Guardian ad Litem and Youth Haven which led Ron to No Barriers USA. No Barriers sponsors an adventure themed program designed to build confidence and leadership skills in inner city youth.
In July, Ron led 10 participants on a 10 day expedition including white water rafting along the rio grande and five days on the Navaho Indian Reservation in Arizona. The goal was to empower them to achieve great things and to open their eyes to the plight of those even less fortunate.
