Ronald Wayne is a retired American business person who helped start a very important company. He was born on May 17, 1934, in Cleveland, Ohio. When he was young, he learned to draw technical designs at the School of Industrial Art High School in New York City.

Helping to Start Apple

In 1976, Ronald met two friends, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. Together, they created a new company called the Apple Computer Company. Ronald’s job was to handle the papers and keep things organized for the new business. He even made the first Apple logo.
