Ron, 39
Construction Manager

Ron is a self-proclaimed beach bum who currently works as a construction manager when the waves are bad. Although he never earned a degree, Ron attended some college courses in Santa Barbara, San Diego and Santa Cruz. He also attended Paramedic School in Melbourne, Florida.

Ron’s life revolves around his family and the ocean. Although Ron purchased Tillman for his wife as a Mother’s Day gift, Tillman has never left Ron’s side. Ron thinks of himself and Tillman as fraternity brothers who are inseparable to the point where Ron’s wife and son complain that he spends more time with Tillman than anyone else. Ron describes himself as creative, dedicated, laid back and dynamic. He likes all dogs, especially mutts. Ron’s motto is “Be remembered as a good, giving, funny guy.”

Ron has been married to Erika for 10 years, and lives in Oxnard, Calif., with their 8-year-old son, Reef. His birth date is April 28, 1969.

TILLMAN

Tillman wows people with his amazing skills on skateboards, snowboards and skimboards. He is also obsessed with tetherball and soccer. He was recently featured in an iPhone ad and has appeared on “Animal Planet” and “National Geographic.” His nicknames are “Pot Roast” and “Da-Bow.” Tillman’s favorite outfit is his snow parka because then he knows he’s going snowboarding!

Tillman’s pet peeve is being left at home…he needs to be a part of the action! Tillman eats, sleeps and goes out with Ron every day. Ron describes Tillman as hyper, intelligent, playful and an adrenaline junkie. You can see Tillman in action on YouTube, MySpace and www.gotillman.com – he’s all over the Internet! Tillman enjoys performing for those that need a lift in life, including kids, troops, charity events, etc.
