He is also revealed to consume one shelf of alcohol a week and usually likes his drinks neat (without ice). Due to his high consumption of meat and oils, Ron and other Swansons have a very high tolerance for alcohol therefore, as revealed on Pawnee Today, Ron has never had a hangover, not even after drinking an entire jug of Swanson Liquor in one swig, which is shown to be very strong. Ron goes into shock when he does not regularly consume meat in a certain period of time shown when visiting Chris' house where his home was void of red meat, as seen in the episode: Indianapolis. He also says that Vegans are made of glass and had no problem writing his address down when writing a letter to one, as he considers them too weak to be a threat. Ron openly despises vegetables and vegetarians/vegans alike calling the plants "food that my food eats." One exception to this is shrimp, which he has described as his “number three favourite food”. He despises fish and states it only should be used for sport as it is practically the vegetable of meats.
Ron will rarely eat ethnic foods but will if it contains "meat" in its name. Ron also is shown to love unhealthy fatty high cholesterol foods like red meat. The only thing he hates more than lying is skim milk, which he says is water lying about being milk. He also hates lying to the point he was willing to let Jeremy Jamm win a lawsuit against him if it meant having his witnesses April and Tom tell the truth. Ron starting from an early age loves building things and woodwork, even winning an award for his chairs he makes. Ron owns a burgundy 1997-2002 Buick Park Avenue Ultra (See Ron's Buick) and what appears to be a 1978-1979 Ford F-100. He also mentioned an uncle who "does yoga" when asked if his family had any history of mental illness. He is shown to have at least three other brothers, Don, Lon, and Vaughn, all of whom worked with him at Very Good Construction and whom he likes to keep private. Ron has at least one unseen brother, who is an officer in the Air Force. His direct superior is the City Manager, initially Paul, then Chris, and finally Ben. He is also an avid hunter and fisherman and secretly moonlights as a jazz saxophonist named " Duke Silver". He also enjoys woodworking, breakfast meats, and the works of Ayn Rand. He keeps the shell of a claymore mine (secretly filled with party supplies, he doesn't know this until the episode: Leslie & Ron) and a sawed-off shotgun on his desk, so people who ask for things have to stare down the barrel. He is usually non-confrontational and gives Leslie a lot of leeway to run the department. While at the department, he closed many unnecessary recreational spaces, including the Portola Skate Park, the Grice Dog Run, the Morris-Easton Observatory, the Mohanga Native American Heritage Center, and most public drinking fountains. Ron believes the government should be privatized and follow the business model of Chuck E. Ron believes in the elimination of government waste, and during his tenure always brought the department under budget. Ron Swanson was Director of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department for six years.
His brother's names are Don, Bob, Vaughn, and Lon Swanson, Lon being named after his uncle Lon. He has four brothers, one of whom is in the Air Force and another (or potentially the same) shot him in the foot with a nail gun when they were little. However, Ron hitchhiked and went to college anyway, where he learned a lot about life. When college came around, his dad, feeling that college wasn't important, dropped Ron off at a metal factory. Ron attended a prom when he was 12 and while he enjoyed himself, he felt it was unnecessary to go to another one, as he'd felt he was too old for it. He tried to do both as well as finish Middle School but he eventually realized he could only do one thing at a time. When he was eleven he was offered a job at the Tannery where he could work with leather, a dream he always had. When Ron was nine he began work in a sheet metal factory and within two weeks, he was running the floor. He cried for the first time when he was seven when he was hit by a school bus. Ron's birthday has long been a secret kept between him and the people at Baskin-Robbins, although Leslie Knope managed to figure it out. Ron was born to Tamara Swanson and was delivered by his future wife, also known as Tammy 1, a candy striper at the hospital. He also enjoys artichokes, plums, and intense riddles or scavenger hunts. Ron presents himself with a steely demeanor in the office, however he secretly plays the saxophone as Duke Silver.
