Unique Path to Financial Journalism
Ron’s career in financial reporting was a total accident. He graduated from college with a degree in film production. In 1984, a producer friend at the Financial News Network, the first television network devoted exclusively to financial news, hired him as a freelance producer.
FNN was the first television network devoted exclusively to financial news. One day in 1985 the network’s only two anchors got sick on the same day and Ron found himself on the air for a full eight-hour shift. With that, Ron’s financial broadcasting career was born. When the Financial News Network merged with CNBC in 1991, Ron became a regular anchor there and a frequent presence on other NBC News shows.
