Meet Ronnie... 

Ronnie is a devoted family man who has been married to his wife Rebekah since 1985. Together they have two loving children and four grandchildren. He is the Chairman and CEO of Capital Choice of the Carolinas and is well-known for his expertise in financial management, investment advice, running retirement plans for companies, his educational approach, and earning trust and respect within his industry. Ronnie has been a part of the SmartVestor program with the Dave Ramsey organization since 2013. He receives satisfaction and fulfillment by guiding others to financial peace.

In addition to his ownership role, Ronnie serves on the Chairman’s Advisory Council at Capital Choice – a national brand centered around the Dave Rasmey principles. Alongside his wife Rebekah, he is honored on the Capital Choice Wall of Fame, showcasing their commitment to excellence within Capital Choice.

Clients appreciate Ronnie's educational style, which empowers them to navigate their financial journeys confidently, including areas such as term life insurance, debt reduction, retirement preparation, and strategic financial planning.

In a time where financial knowledge is lacking, Ronnie focuses on educating his clients, and helping them make wise financial decisions. As a SmartVestor Pro affiliated with Dave Ramsey, Ronnie is committed in his dedication to financial education. He not only advises clients but also mentors future financial advisors, including other SmartVestors Pros and his team of term life agents. His commitment to enhancing financial literacy mirrors his passion for teaching and community support.

Ronnie starts every appointment by educating his clients on the basic fundamentals of money, using Capital Choice’s proprietary MoneyTrak software, no matter their past experience. This equips clients with the knowledge needed to make their own guided decisions and truly understand the direction they decide to take with their savings/investments. He provides complementary financial planning using MoneyGuidePro, in line with Dave Ramsey principles.

Ronnie wants to meet with you regardless of where you are on your “BabySteps” Journey.
