Biography of
Ron Moore
(Ronald J. Moore, Sr.)
Employment History
Stanford Research Institute, now SRI International, from 1955 to 1992, Graphic Artist, Manager
of Marketing.
Narrative
I was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. After graduation from high school, I attended the Rhode
Island School of Design. I married my high school sweetheart, Ruth, in 1951 and moved to
Sunnyvale in 1955. I got three jobs the first week and picked Stanford Research in Menlo Park.
We moved to Cupertino in 1962. I worked as a Graphic Artist for SRI (now called SRI
International) for 37 years, and retired in 1992, but I am and always will be an artist. I paint
watercolors. I am a cartoonist, a writer and illustrator of children’s books. I am Past President
of Northern California Cartoon and Humor Association. Charles Schulz (Peanuts) was a friend
and member of our group. My “fifteen minutes” claim to fame was showing my drawing on the
“Howie Mandel” show on national TV.
I volunteer as a Producer and Crew Member of Cupertino Senior Television Productions
(CSTVP), producers of “The Better Part,” a show shown on Cable Channel 15. We have been
producing our show weekly since 1983, and will have a celebration in October of our twenty
years.
I am working on several screenplays, and ideas for television series. I am writing a book about
capturing a likeness in drawings, and I plan to make “how to” videos about learning to paint,
draw, cartoon, and enjoy being an artist.
We have four children, eight grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. We remarried to
celebrate our fiftieth anniversary, and we will be going to my fifty-fifth high school reunion in
October (unfortunately missing most of the campaign period) and we will go to my wife’s fifty-
fifth reunion next year.
We love Cupertino, and we love each other, very much. Thank you.
