“Ronnie has become such a valuable part of our team and family. He is always there to lend a hand to anyone, no matter the task at hand. He is the first one to tell you good morning and always wants to see if there is anything he can do to help you. We are extremely fortunate to have a person like him on our team.” – Ashley Wright, Office Manager
