PADGETT BUSINESS SERVICES - Key Persons
In 1963, Ron arrived from Honolulu, Hawaii to attend Seattle University where he earned a degree in Commercial Sciences. At graduation, he received his US Army Officer's commission and served on active duty for three years including one tour in Viet Nam where he was awarded the Bronze Star for Meritorious Service.
Ron left the army as a captain and went to work in the banking industry, first at the Seattle Branch, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, then, at Seattle First National Bank (Bank of America). During this time, he used the GI Bill to earn his MBA from the University of Puget Sound.
After 10 years in banking, he was hired as controller for a privately owned Seattle company. In 1990 Ron left the company and started a service company and, at the same time, opened the first Padgett Business Services franchise in Western Washington. With the knowledge, skills and experience he acquired as an internal auditor and department manager in banking, controller, and eventually, owner of his own company, Ron provides expert guidance and assistance to his Padgett clients for more than 20 years. In 2013, he transitioned his business to Padgett Business Services of Bothell and took on a part time role at that office.
Ron is married to Sandi, his college sweetheart, for more than 40 years. They have two children and three grandchildren who they enjoy immensely.
