Ron began his career in 1978 working for Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc. as an assistant floor trader on the old New York COMEX Exchange in the World Trade Tower. As his real interest was in the fixed income markets, he applied for and was accepted into Merrill’s Bond School., a one-year training/work program with about a dozen trainees. Upon completion, he became a trader of mobile home loan securities backed by GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC.

Ron has worked for some of the most storied names on Wall Street – Merrill Lynch, E.F. Hutton, Paine Webber, Smith Barney, and Lehman Brothers. He has also worked for regional broker dealers Vining Sparks IBG, Stifel Fixed Income Capital Markets, SouthState | DuncanWilliams Debt Capital Markets, and Crews & Associates.
