Ron with his grandsons

I am unqualified to write Ron Hruska’s career biography.  I am only his daughter, and sadly, not privy to his world of biomechanics and pathokinesiology and postural restoration.  Honestly, I’m not even sure what those words mean.  As far as his professional expertise goes, I can only attest to this: my dad has X-ray vision.  He can watch you walk or sit or stand and know exactly what is going on inside your body and how it needs to be “fixed.” Coming from his most apathetic patient ever, I’m pretty sure this means that for at least the last decade, he’s had to bite his tongue every time he watches me move.
There are hundreds, thousands probably, who can speak of his love and passion for his profession and of his dedication to helping people move and participate more fully in their own lives.  Adjacent to this devotion to others, though, there is in him the desire to fulfill the potential of his own life and embrace the goodness he himself has been given.  It means that when he is not practicing PT or teaching courses, he is, well, busy with other things.
To just list all of my dad’s hobbies is an injustice to the depth and breadth of his interest in and knowledge of them.  We call him obsessive compulsive, but passionate seems a more respectful adjective.  My dad is an arborist and a gardener.  A daVinci enthusiast and Husker volleyball fan.  A collector of Red Wing pottery, oak furniture, Tonka trucks, toy tin barns and model and full-size tractors.  A fisherman and hunter.  A wordsmith and lover of books.  And sometimes, late at night, an E-bay bidder.
Above all of this, he is a husband, dad, and most devoted grandpa.  He cannot go more than a couple of days without seeing my three boys and does everything in his power to make sure it happens.  He also fosters in them enthusiast tendencies that mirror his own wholehearted passion for partaking in pleasurable pursuits.  Once he learns of their interest in playing army, or of building with with Legos, or most recently, of their obsession with Star Wars, there will be hundreds of plastic army men and tanks or new Lego sets or Darth Vader costumes in their hands the next day.  Let’s call it what it really is – spoiling them.  I think he considers it his most important job.
