He first worked as a newspaper boy on River Street. He later joined the air cadets, and later the Canadian Army Reserve. He then got his start in radio and television by acting as a male model for the CHAB television program Teen Tempo. In 1966, Ron became a camera operator for CHAB television, which was bought by CBC in 1969.

After traveling across the country and the USA as part of a mobile broadcast crew, Ron took a job as Technical Producer of NHL and CFL games in Calgary, Alberta.
