Ronald Beckner bio:

Ron works with individuals who have never received education on preparing for their financial future. He knows it is the working class that continues to build America up. But these same workers have never been sure how to create a retirement plan or how to put their hard-earned money to work.

His goal is to teach others that, through thoughtful strategic planning, they can become educated in setting goals for their future and understand the basics of financial literacy so that they don't find themselves in a debilitating situation come retirement age. Ron has a BS in business and 11 years of experience as a financial planner.

With his team at Peaks Integrity Wealth Management, Ron teaches their trademark Our Time formula and financial start process. His book, A Blueprint and Financial Guide for the Working Class American, was also released in 2022.
