Our Team

Ron was the founder/owner of Eckstam Financial Strategies, LLC for 17 years. Prior to starting Eckstam Financial Strategies, Ron was a successful corporate executive with Target Stores. Expanding upon his niche market expertise, Ron founded and successfully ran his own entrepreneurial business 17 years before selling it. These experiences shape how Ron now runs his financial services practice and provide a solid foundation of knowledge and expertise when working with business owners.

Financial planning combines Ron’s passions for financial strategies, helping families, and figuring out ways to help entrepreneurial businesses grow and
prosper. The analytical skills needed to understand and integrate all the strategies are a perfect fit for Ron’s strengths.

Ron graduated from St Olaf College with a BA in Economics and earned his Master of Business Administration from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. He is an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR) with Series 7, 66, and 24 securities registrations held with LPL Financial as well as Life/Health/Disability and Long Term Care insurance licenses.
