Ramone is a machine! A machine for good. He doesn't just talk the DEI talk, he is a genuine leader when it comes to assisting others to reach their potential. I have known Ramone for a few years now and have had the pleasure of watching him channel his passion for elevating people from disadvantaged communities and working tirelessly to improve opportunities for people of Color.
​
Ramone is creative and resourceful. As a result, he never misses a chance to enlist others in several initiatives for which he is involved.
​
He takes the time to expand and leverage his network of like-minded professionals to bridge the gap between "what is" and "what could be" for people interested in finding a path toward a life they deserve.
​
On any given day, I can find Ramone: educating others on what DEI means and how they can make a difference; promoting and supporting organizations with parallel interests; bringing valuable training programs to otherwise inaccessible communities; and encouraging others to do the same. (I do mean, any given day. He and I have had several weekend conversations related to some of his projects.)
Ramone is a knowledgeable and inspiring force that I have no doubt will serve others well beyond the borders of his home in the United States.

I have had the privilege to interface with Ramone in a variety of ways, including as a potential vendor for one of his initiatives and also as a fellow community solutions architect.
​
Ramone's passion, commitment, and dedication to making our world a better place comes through immediately. Also easily apparent is the respect he gives everyone, the collaborative thoughtful leadership he follows, and the innovative approaches he figures out to make things happen no matter the hurdles that are in the way.
​
One of my first interactions with Ramone was when he drove 4 hours one way to pick up around 100 donated model planes because he knew they would be helpful for the aviation program for students of color that he leads. He has the vision to transform random materials into valuable learning tools.
​
What he does for the community is invaluable. He brings youth (especially youth of color) into spaces that are welcoming and full of possibility. He lets them know they belong there and provides the tools to allow them to succeed should they want to continue that path.
