As the Publisher at 3rd Coast Books, LLC (), Ron specializes in transforming books into films, successfully securing numerous Film/TV contracts.
Ron's journey began with a degree in Journalism from the University of North Texas. His early career saw him serving as Sports Editor for local newspapers and Associate Editor for a National Trade Magazine, alongside freelance contributions to various publications. His service in the U. S. Army as an Information Specialist earned him two Bronze Stars for his work as a Combat Correspondent and Photographer, where he also contributed to Army Times and Stars & Stripes.
Transitioning to business, Ron founded a Literary Agency in Houston, Texas, where he actively engaged with the film industries in New York and Hollywood. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to take one of his businesses public on NASDAQ in the mid-80s. Before establishing 3rd Coast Books, he worked as a licensed financial consultant with firms like Smith Barney and Merrill Lynch. A dedicated Bible teacher and Life Group leader at Lone Star Cowboy Church in Montgomery, TX, Ron also indulges his passion for bass fishing in his spare time.
One of the most significant lessons Ron has learned is, IF YOU QUIT, YOU LOSE! He advocates for perseverance in writing, urging others to maintain hope, as "Someone will come along and send the elevator down."
