Ron Bergeron was raised in South Florida, home to eight generations of his family where they lived and breathed a culture within the elements of nature. He grew up in the small Town of Davie with a population of approximately 500 where his parents owned and ran a small grocery store. “There were more places to tie your horse than park a car in front of his store.”
His first business, Bergeron Land Development, was launched in 1965 when he bought a 1943 Ford Ferguson tractor. After the land clearing work started to slow he bought his first bulldozer and went from building driveways to building one of the largest contracts in the state at the time, the I95 – I595 and Sawgrass Expressway, I595 – I75 Interchanges.
Ron Bergeron is personally responsible for raising millions of dollars for organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs, Partnership for the Homeless, the Homeless Center, Arthritis Foundation, Wildlife Foundation as well as countless other nonprofit organizations. In 2018 he received the Prestigious Horatio Alger Award.
