Ronald Lee Bierbaum was born August 5, 1949, in Red Oak, Iowa, the son of Norman and Vera (Knisley) Bierbaum. He graduated from Red Oak High School in 1968 and attended Wayne State college on a football scholarship before serving in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam era. He was very proud of the fact that he got to train with the Seabees at Port Huememe, California, where his interest of heavy equipment continued to evolve during his military career. Upon return from the military, Ronald Lee farmed at the Triple B Farm alongside his dad and brother before going to work for Mather Tiling.
