R&W: What brought you to the Front Street business district?
Ron: I came across these homes being built in 2003 and thought it was a great idea. It reminded me of the old small town
businesses on Main St. in so many cities across the U.S. where the owners lived above their shops.
R&W: What inspires you?
Ron: I’m inspired by my late father, who always lived by the credo, "Any job you do, is a job worth doing well.” He was a small business owner and worked with honesty and integrity. That’s the way I run my business.

Kim: Front Street is unique because it is our hometown as well as our neighborhood.
R&W: What inspires or motivates you in your business and life?
Kim: I’ve always loved working with children and being able to use my passion for art – moving to Ladera allowed me to combine the two. Support from my family make it easier to balance my family and work life.
