Meet the teamRon Simon’s executive experience began with Perma-Built, a maker of bath-related products, including medicine and vanity cabinets and countertops, where he was CEO. When the company was sold in 1987, Simon founded RSI Home Products in 1989, and was Chairman and CEO. In 1997, with management succession plans as a key strategy, he handed over the role of President and CEO to Alex Calabrese, himself remaining Chairman until 2011. RSI was later sold to American Woodmark in 2017 for over $1 billion.
Over the history of RSI, Simon had partnered with four independent private equity firms, allowing investment into the company. All four firms made handsome returns on their investment through RSI’s success.
In 2002, with a vision and desire to give back to underserved students, Simon established The Simon Foundation for Education and Housing, and continues, along with his family, to change the lives of so many.
In 2008, Simon founded RSI Homes, which operated under the brands of The New Home and SCEL Properties.
In 2015, Simon formed RSI Communities, which grew exponentially, owning or controlling over 11,000 home lots in California and Texas within three years of inception. It was sold to William Lyon Homes in 2018.
Also in 2015, Simon and his team founded DuCal Energy, a solar energy manufacturer and provider initially focused on supporting RSI Communities’ solar needs. In 2017, DuCal was re-branded to RSI Energy and continues as a manufacturer and provider of solar energy solutions to the new housing market.
