About ralph
I am a beach bum who just so happens to love sports and design. I enjoy mixing those two passions so much I parlayed them into a career after serving in the United States Navy as an
Aviation Electronics Technician working on F/A-18 Hornets (VFA-106) in Fallon, NV and Key West, FL. I am now a Senior Director within The adidas Group in North America heading up our SpeedLab Division where we maximize consumer demand by capturing micro-moments in sports by getting product to market extremely quickly. I’ve lived in 15 states while I have visited 42 states + Washington, DC. I am happily married to my Wife Toni and have two sons; Jake (14) and Jett (10). Toni and I were married barefoot on the beach at sunset in Maui (04.04.04). We go back as often as possible, last count...we’ve been there 10 times. My biggest sense of accomplishment is helping and seeing others succeed and accomplish their goals. Family FIRST – always! I'm hoping to be able to help a Veteran in some way, any way I can to help them transition back into society. I respect and admire the military, having served myself, I understand what sacrifices men and women make to keep us safe and protect our Constitution. Thank you for your service!
