Ron Bienstock

North Jersey Masters Lifetime Achievement Award is presented to an individual who has been a member for 20 or more years and has consistently served the club through volunteerism, committee membership and significantly furthered the mission and goals of the North Jersey Masters. This year’s recipient is Ronald Bienstock. We interviewed Ron and asked him some questions we were curious about. Click HERE to learn what Ron had to share.
