Ron Bloomingkemper is from Houston, Texas, where he and his wife Pam live. He has earned a wealth of experience during his 34 years in the financial services industry.

Ron has built and sold one of the largest property and casualty agencies in Houston. He is a founder of two savings and loan banks and served on the board of directors for both. He has served as president of many organizations including his college alumni association and Chamber of Commerce, where he was voted citizen of the year.

Ron was the original founder of a national insurance organization, which was one of the first to form its own reinsurance company offering shares to agents based on their production. This marketing company successfully added 3,000–5,000 clients per month for a 10-year period. Such production placed Ron’s company in the top 5% of all insurance companies. The reason for success is found in this simple motto: “Why work for just commissions and not equity?” Ron adds, “Most sales people pay a tremendous price to only build wealth for those who sit in their ivory tower. We did not just talk about a salesperson being king but put a meaning to it beyond just commissions.”

Ron now oversees the operation of the holding company, which owns one of the fastest-growing national broker-dealers in America, United Securities Alliance, based in Denver, and Freedom Equity Group, featuring investment-grade retirement plans.

Ron believes that we have a need to find a sense of purpose in our work and provides these suggestions.
