Watch Ron Diamond
No diamond in the rough, Ron has been polished to a fine luster. He is smart, informed, thoughtful, and generous of spirit. So many in his line of work have their hand out all the time and sing from one sheet of music. Not Ron. He is inquisitive and facile, hard-working (24/7), and is about the most connected guy I know. And the quality he shares with diamonds? Ron is rare.
