Ron Block
Ron Block
Aggregate Specialist
If you venture out to the pit, you’re sure to meet Ron.
He works hard creating product to sell, keeping the pit organized and taking excellent care of our customers needing aggregate. Ron is a lifelong Cortes Islander. He spent his early childhood growing up in Mansons Landing and attending the local school (on the site of the current CoOp Market). He has seen many changes over the years and has a wealth of local history. In his spare time, Ron enjoys the bounty of the sea - whether fishing or gathering on his oyster/clam leases or wild digs, he appreciates his island environment.
