New Interview: Ron Howard on His Journey Into Holiday Lighting

I’m excited to share the latest episode in my guest interview series — this time featuring a name a lot of you will already know: Ron Howard.

Ron’s route into the holiday lighting world isn’t the one you’d expect. He started out as a drummer in a band, moved into photography and sales, and eventually found his way into xTreme Sequences, where he’s become one of the driving forces in the sequencing community. In this interview, we talk through that whole journey — how he got started, what’s kept him in the hobby (and industry) all these years, and the perspective that only someone with his depth of experience can offer.

Whether you’re just getting started with xLights and pixel lighting, or you’ve been sequencing for years, there’s plenty in this conversation worth your time.

This is part of an ongoing series where I sit down with well-known figures across the holiday lighting industry to hear their stories — so if you enjoy this one, keep an eye out for more episodes coming soon.
