Chief Executive Officer

Prior to embarking upon the Skywell journey, Ron had become convinced that whether your primary concern was health, cost, social responsibility or the sustainability of our planet, the ways many of us continued to access drinking water was shockingly flawed.

Certain that there had to be a better way, Ron set out to develop a more sensible alternative, while provoking a meaningful change in the way we thought about drinking water.

Ron is the founder and CEO of Skywell. He spearheaded the development of the company’s technology and business model, and together with the management team continues to author the company’s direction and culture.

Ron also is a founding director of Reach-Out Worldwide (ROWW), a non-profit charitable foundation that provides rapid response disaster relief and humanitarian aid to those in need in the immediate aftermath of natural disasters throughout the world.

Ron is a founding member of the International Safe Drinking Water Alliance (isDwa), a non-profit foundation created by the Dean of the Graduate School of Environment at the University of Beijing and UC Davis to implement policies and strategies to increase access to safe drinking water throughout the world. 

Ron has been a prominent real estate and entertainment attorney in Los Angeles for over 30 years. He specializes in negotiating and structuring complex acquisition, financing and movie production deals. Ron received a Juris Doctor from the UCLA Law School, where he was editor of the Law Review. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from UCLA, graduating summa cum laude and as a departmental scholar.
