Ron states;  "I should have obtained my BA degree in 1969, but after graduating from Roosevelt High School in 1965 I joined the Army, went to Vietnam, and was drunk for five years after I returned from Vietnam.  I went to North Seattle Community College and graduated as an Accounting Major from U-Dub in 1978 at age 30.  

"After a career in banking and accounting, I had a need to "Do things my way with as much control over my own destiny as possible", so, I started my own business, "Diamond In The Mall" in 1990."

Being too stubborn to fail Ron has been in business for almost 25 years trading in Gold and Silver coins, Trading Cards, and games.
