Ron realized early in his engineering career that he had a passion for building and leading teams. To succeed, he needed to build a deep network of support. He needed to learn why people connect and how they create results together. This realization led him on a 30-year journey that culminated in the creation of the 7-step Macklin Method and the launch of Macklin Connection. Ron and his wife Koni have three adult children, Garrett, Lorin and Brennan.
