Bio
Howard Skora
Ron went from Fitness Manager to General Manager at Golds Gym-Pasadena in a very short time because he had the skill set needed to organize and motivate a team in dire need of leadership. He is direct and honest but also empathic to his team and knows what they need to perform to expectation. I know that he can succeed in any management job he chooses and has the drive and energy to make things happen.

Ron know is not only a great manager who helped me believe in myself, he also does what is necessary to meet business need. I would say he knows the correct balance of meeting business need and meeting employee need. He is the kind of manager I aspire to be.
