He has enjoyed a successful career through the founding of a variety of businesses including: a commercial FM broadcast station, electronic and telecommunication companies and a construction and development company. Sid continues to be successful as an executive in business activities that have expanded to various parts of the United States. He has also held leadership positions in various civic, church and charitable organizations.
In 1976, Sid was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Through God's grace and a proactive approach to managing this disease, he has been able to maintain an active lifestyle.
Sid grew up on a small farm in the northern province of Holland. As a boy during World War II he experienced first hand what it was like living in Nazi occupied territory, an event that significantly influenced his life.
The importance of all that success pales in comparison to the importance of family. Margaret and Sid Baron have been blessed with six children, fourteen grandchildren and already a few great grandchildren.
Sid believes faith, family and relationships are the values that count in life far more than the accumulation of material possessions. As he says, "What I have achieved for myself, I regard as far less important than the opportunities I’m given to help others."
He is the author of five books, all of which can be purchased at this site along with popular websites across the country.
