Before relocating to Nashville from upstate New York in 2006, Ron earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from Medaille College in Buffalo, NY. During his time at Medaille, he was actively involved in many clubs and organizations including the Student Activities Board, Athletics board and was Vice President and Co-Founder of the first intercollegiate ice hockey program in the institution's history, a feat in which he is particularly proud.

Four years after relocating to Nashville and pursuing a career in law enforcement, Ron decided to part ways with the executive branch of the law and made the choice to transition into a career as an attorney. Soon after being introduced to the legal world, it was evident there was a need for personal, dedicated legal professionals. Therefore, starting his own practice with these principles in mind became his goal. Upon earning his Juris Doctorate from the Nashville School of Law and passing the Tennessee Bar Exam, he did exactly that by going into private practice and co-founding the law firm of Herbert & Lux, PLLC.
