Caro High School Class of 1983

Ron Meredith graduation

I will be in Annapolis, Maryland, doing some filming with ESPN with
Travis Pastrana, the rider I manage.  X Games starts a week later, and there is just
too much to do between now and then.

I never took the time to fill out the questionnaire, but here's the reader's digest
version: 
I completed my degree and was commissioned as an Army officer in 1987.  Between active
and reserve duty, I had enough after 13 years, and got out in 2000.  I began working
for Ford Motor Company in February of 1994, and am currently responsible for Accessories
and Key Feature Vehicles for Trucks, SUV's, and Cross-Over's.  My career at Ford
has taken me from Michigan to Orlando in '95, and then back to Michigan in '00 with
lots of travel throughout.  I have been racing as an amateur and a professional for
many years, beginning with ATV's back in '87, before moving to Jet Skis, followed
by Motorcycles.  I won amateur championships in motocross in both Michigan and Florida,
and last year finished third at the Supermoto National Championships.  Along the
way, I made friends and connections throughout the motorcycle industry, and began
managing a professional team, led by Travis Pastrana, in 2004, using my vacation
time at Ford to do so.  Together we have travelled all over the world and won numerous
events and championships, including eight gold medals at X Games.  As one can imagine,
between multiple concurrent jobs, travel, racing, and all the stupid stunts done
with Travis and the Nitro Circus, it hasn't lent much time to anything or anyone
else.  I'm single and currently call Waterford, Michigan home when I slow down enough
to go there.
