National Driver Appreciation Week is just around the corner, and we’re thrilled to spotlight Ron Isaac. Having earned the prestigious Driver of the Year Award in both 2021 and 2024, Ron’s commitment to excellence and safety on the road is unmatched.
Ron, a familiar face on the roads of Florida, joined MATHESON in 2015 as a driver for our Packaged Gas operations, delivering gas and welding supplies while supporting production at the Pinellas Park, FL plant. He recently transitioned into an Inside Sales Support role, broadening his skill set and increasing his impact at MATHESON.
Originally from Kentucky, Ron began his career as a mechanic, then moved on to work in the coalfields before eventually establishing a successful transportation business. His entrepreneurial background sharpened his expertise in office management, inventory, routing, and load securement, enhancing his versatile skill set.
Ron is driven by a desire to keep learning and growing within MATHESON, valuing the opportunity to expand his expertise. He embraces the possibilities and challenges that come with his new position.
Outside of work, Ron immerses himself in the Florida lifestyle, enjoying outdoor activities like scuba diving, kayaking, boating, fishing, and soaking up the sunshine. He humorously mentions trading his snow shovel for a sand shovel after moving south.
Ron deeply appreciates MATHESON’s commitment to safety, which is highlighted in their daily Tool Box Talk meetings. These meetings not only focus on safety topics but also foster a sense of camaraderie among colleagues. Ron emphasizes the role each teammate plays in maintaining a safe work environment, stating, “It is everybody’s responsibility – if you see something, say something!”
Ron Isaac’s dedication to delivering exceptional service and his positive attitude toward his colleagues embody the core values of MATHESON. His contributions serve as an inspiration to his teammates, reflecting the spirit of MATHESON in action.
