Ron Dortch obtained his first licenses and registrations in the financial services industry while completing his undergraduate degree as an adult in 1989, when he established the firm. He holds life, health, long-term care, annuity, and variable annuity insurance licenses in 17 states, and he is Series 6, 63, and 65 securities registered. Ron is affiliated with both Silver Oak Securities and HBW Advisory Services LLC and he has deep connections throughout the financial services industry. He often works in tandem with estate attorneys, CPAs, and tax professionals.

This combination of education, financial services knowledge, previous business experience, and a strong work ethic have enabled him to help thousands of families with protection through insurance, and allowed them to lead better lives by helping them accumulate wealth, plan for education for their children, and retire comfortably.

Ron has a close relationship with his wife, Charlene, and they have worked together for nearly 20 years. Both have had successful careers in other industries. Ron spent 20 years in a family business that they took public in 1984; he left the firm as president. He also spent 10 years in publishing as a sales manager, and operations manager.

“I chose this profession because it allows me to help people and it offered a way for me to also own my own business. We work mostly for individuals, but we do have several business clients, providing group retirement plans, group insurance, and working with each employee on their own individual plans,” he says.

Ron’s goal and mission as an advisor is to see clients safe, less stressed, and not worried about money. “We use a comprehensive process which helps them understand their financial situation and allows us to provide a course of action for them to reach their financial goals. We never pressure anyone. In fact, we won’t even allow them to start working with us until they take the time to really think about what we are recommending. These types of decisions are too important to be taken lightly or decided upon in the spur of the moment in my opinion. Your finances affect your entire life.”

— Ron Dortch

Ron was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received his Bachelor of Science degree with an emphasis in marketing from Mary Baldwin College, graduating magna cum laude.

Currently residing in Henrico, Virginia, Ron and Charlene have three grown children and five grandchildren. Ron is involved in the Western Henrico, Virginia, community as a Rotarian. He is a volunteer, and as part of the Rotary Readers Program, he reads to less fortunate elementary school children and helps to support the school libraries through book and cash donations. Ron has also coached youth soccer since 1986, where he demonstrates a positive attitude and serves as a role model to players and parents.

In his free time, Ron practices Taekwondo, a Korean martial art, enjoys playing historical simulation games, and is a ballroom dancer. He and Charlene love spending time with their five grandchildren who also live in Virginia.
