Ralph Joiner My introduction to Outdoor Resorts Palm Springs was Big Star Night 2013. Two lovely ladies in the site next to us informed us just how wonderful ORPS was and invited us to attend. Sitting on our patio watching and hearing the golfers on the 11 th tee box was really the beginning of things to come. My wife Michele and I made our way to ORPS as renters each year until 2021 when we purchased lot 93.
After graduating from California State University Long Beach, I began my working life in sales and marketing, management and ownership of several businesses. I have worked with individuals, large groups and multinational companies. I traveled the world spending too much time in airplanes, board rooms and hotels. My last position as co- owner of FSG Inc. was the most rewarding and the most complex. Manufacturing glass molds for angioplasty and stent delivery balloons for the major medical companies around the world, helping save lives and employing people was most rewarding. In 2007 I retired, sold my share of the Company and now play at ORPS. I’m currently on the Planning Committee and belong to FMCA-ORPS. In the past I was President of the Gold Country Lions Club, Youth Services Chairman District 5140 Rotary International and President of the Cement Hill Road Association. I was the first Race Director of the Gold Country Marathon and Road Races. The biggest test of my abilities to organize and lead was the Amgen Tour of California professional bicycle race. I worked with city, county and state entities and City Police, County Sheriff’s and the California Highway Patrol. I registered several hundred volunteers for race day and had them show up and perform flawlessly. In all of my endeavors, I have had to work with a budget and communicate effectively. I would like to hear from you. Would these goals and objectives be yours? Promote an active lifestyle. Spend your money like mine, conservatively. Communicate what is happening at ORPS. Complete approved projects on time and within budget. Please vote for me “I’M READY TO WORK FOR YOU”.
