Although Ron Peake’s livelihood comes from building, he is not driven by the bottom line. “I build homes that I can always be proud of”, says Ron. “You know, a home is good for at least 100 years, so with each one I build, I am making at least a 100 year statement.” Ron holds a professional degree in architecture and Community and Regional Planning from Kansas State University. He designs many of the homes that he builds. But it becomes clear that his designs are much more than a means to an end as he reveals, “My hobby is my design work, I make my living building.”
