More information

Ron began his early days in a log cabin high in the mountains of North Carolina. A born entrepreneur, by age 5, he would stand at the foot of his family-owned mountain, at his own roadside stand, selling apples, grapes, nuts, honey, apple cider, and wreaths at Christmas to help make ends meet.



Wanting to pursue a career in education, Rice headed for the University of Tennessee where during summer breaks, he worked as a Florida lifeguard to help pay his tuition. Loving the warm climate and beach lifestyle, and with a Bachelor of Science Degree under his arm, he landed a job as a chemistry teacher and football coach at a Florida high school earning under $5,000 a year.

While on a free vacation to Hawaii, he noticed many of the local women using natural oils to protect their skin from the sun. Having looked in vain for a product that would shield his own fair skin from the sun, Rice became determined to create a product that would allow him and others to achieve a golden tan like the native Hawaiians.
