Ron Veale

Ron's first foray into rocketing happened while accompanying his wife to the wedding cake hobby shop... they had rockets! Since building wedding cakes was not Ron's best skill, he chose to go home with a low power rocket kit. And it went from there. Ron tests software for a telecommunications company, that also has things to do with rockets, missiles to be more correct. He is currently the Vice President of the Calgary Rocketry Association, and delves into keeping the high power events portion the website up to date. Ron is an enthusiastic supporter of various rocket events throughout Alberta, including Fire and Ice, SAM, Hanna, Rock Lake, Sullivan lake, Fall Fire, and througout the year model activities in the Calgary area.

As a level four RI three rocketeer he brings a wealth of experience to CAR, including the usual number of crashes required to get there.
