A leader at heart, Ron is the President & CEO of MGO Investment Advisors and the Co-Founder of One Seven. After many years of running a successful business, he channeled his entrepreneur skill set into starting One Seven from the ground up. His motivation is to help people achieve their life goals, specifically through wealth management guidance and mentorship. The motivation behind One Seven is to improve the lives of financial advisors by creating a space and culture outside the industry norm, where each individual can thrive both personally and professionally. For Ron, it’s about making a positive impact on people’s lives, encouraging self-growth and upward career mobility, all while enjoying the journey. The ultimate reward for Ron is to create long-lasting relationships with people. Some of his favorite hobbies include studying European history, coaching youth wrestling, and volunteering for meaningful organizations—such as North Coast Community Housing for the developmentally disabled. Ron currently lives in Beachwood, Ohio, with his wonderful wife, Shelley, and their three children, Allison, Sammy, and Erica.

The Best Getaway
Favorite vacation with the family is a cruise. There is so much to do and the big problem of “where to eat” is solved.
I would love to see Antarctica. Would be an awesome experience. I would detour to the Gallopogas Islands.
My One Seven Reason
I enjoy mentoring young people. It is gratifying to see them grow. I was fortunate that others took an interest in me and I enjoy giving back.
