Ron Lapporte has been interested in high end audio for many years. He opened Great Lakes Audio in East Lansing, Michigan in the mid-1980's while attending graduate school. Having settled into life as a clinical psychologist, husband and father of twins, he decided to re-enter the world of high-end audio by co-creating Ultimate Audio Video with his brother, Rob.

Ron is recognized by many of his colleagues in the audio field as a true audiophile with a good ear for music and a tireless seeker of perfection in music reproduction. Customers and colleagues find him to be highly knowledgable and well versed with regard to audio equipment, as well as genuinely passionate about music and the machines used to recreate it.

Ron lives by the saying: "Obsession is the lazy man's word for dedication."
