RON SOUTHWORTH

Program Director

Ron has worked in the adaptive recreation field since 1996. Prior to coming to STARS, he worked for the National Sports Center for the Disabled in Winter Park. He has a great passion for what we do at STARS where we make a difference in people’s lives every day. When Ron is not on the ski hill in the winter he’s busy in the summer at the Zen Ranch taking care of the STARS equine therapy herd.

Why I love STARS

“I can honestly say that there is nothing else in the world that I would rather do. There are ups and downs, but at the end of the day, we made a difference in someone’s life. STARS isn’t my job, it’s my passion.”
