Founder & President at Blue Chip

For more than three decades, Ron has led Blue Chip as a proud U.S. manufacturer of powered and non-powered therapeutic mattresses, wheelchair & positioning cushions, hospital & patient room products and accessories.

Ron’s career in healthcare and rehabilitation spans more than 48 years. He began at Kagle Surgical, gaining hands-on experience with electro-therapy, TENS units, and rehabilitation equipment.
He later played a key role at Endicott Rental & Sales, helping build one of the largest single-location rehab providers in the country. There, Ron and his team developed custom power recliners, sip-and-puff chairs, and specialized inserts tailored to individual patient needs.
