Ron uses his expansive network to empower business professionals with the tools they need to increase clientele and connect with the community.

After a successful career in the night life entertainment industry, Ron ventured into the community relations sector in 2008, when he saw the need to focus on community relations because of the growing economic issues in San Diego. He joined the Little Saigon San Diego Foundation located in City Heights of San Diego which is home to a large demographic of Vietnamese Americans dealing with social economic issues. More than any other area of San Diego County, City Heights is a true melting pot of different ethnic groups; from Hispanic and African American demographic to the Cambodian and Vietnamese demographic, City Heights is a community of immigrants trying to carve out a life in this city. After six years of collaborative and endless work, Frank Vuong who serves as the president of the Little Saigon Foundation, was able to turn the six block stretch of City Heights into Little Saigon San Diego. Ron continues to be involved with the Little Saigon Foundation and their vision to enhance the community that is called home to many Vietnamese Americans. Ron served as the External Vice President of the Little Saigon Foundation from 2012-2016.

Before launching XO Signature Experience, Ron attended California State University Fullerton, a world renowned institute for their Business Administration program. Ron and his class were amongst the first to graduate from the CSUF Entrepreneur Programs. During his coursework at CSUF, Ron was educated on the key components to successfully launch new businesses both independently and within other companies. He learned how to assess business opportunities, obtain funding for new ventures, operate efficiently and profitably, and build maximum value for estate. His experiences from CSUF prepared him for the hands on, real life experiences which has led to his success in the marketing and public relations industry. To this day, Ron uses his education in Business and Entrepreneurship, innovative ideas, and professional experiences to continue to build a successful foundation for all of his endeavors.
