Ron's Story
All is good. Finished a Bachelors in Economics from Stanford University in 1990. Added another Associates in Accounting from Galveston College in 2004. Finished 2 Masters Degrees in 2010; an MS in Finance, and an MBA with an HR Management Concentration from the University of Houston Clear Lake. Finally, received another Masters in Public Policy in 2020 from the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University.
Met my partner Matt in 1994 in Chicago Illinois where I worked as a trader for Cargill in the Wheat Pits at the Chicago Board of Trade. We eventually moved to Galveston Island TX where we stayed for 15 years. I ran for County Treasurer in 2002, won in a primary runoff but lost in the fall general election. I also worked at Galveston County, advancing to Direct...Expand for more
or of Finance and Administration, Budget Officer and as an Investment Officer. I also oversaw the Human Resources department.
In 2011, we moved to Marietta GA where I started on a PhD in Public Policy/Public Finance at Georgia State University. Meanwhile the University also hired me to build, run and teach in the Center for State and Local Finance's Executive Education Program in Public Finance. I did not complete my PhD in the allotted time, having finished everything but my final Dissertation, so I left the program ABD. I did receive another Masters in Public Policy.
Now I'm working as the CFO for the City of Woodstock GA where I've been since Feb 2020. I started right at the beginning of the pandemic, but its been great, I work with a really great team and I'm totally loving it.
