Ron Legnion, a seasoned independent financial advisor, has carved a remarkable path in the world of finance, spanning over several decades. Born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, with a drive for service and a keen mind for numbers, he embarked on a journey that would lead him to become a trusted advisor to individuals from all walks of life.
Ron’s journey began in the early 1970s when he served in the Infantry Reserve Unit in Houston, Texas, as a 0331 equals machine gunner with the 1st Battalion, 23rd Marines, 4th Marine Division. In 1970, he graduated from Lamar State College of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Education. In 1988, he took a significant step in his career by opening the first Edward Jones branch in Beaumont, Texas. In 1994, Ron made a strategic move to the independent side of Raymond James, expanding his reach and capabilities in the financial industry. This decision was pivotal because it empowered Ron to prioritize his clients’ interests above all else. He previously held various licenses, including Series 24, 53, 7, and 63, as well as the Life Accident Health and HMO licenses. Prior to joining NewEdge Advisors, Ron was an advisor at Beaumont Wealth Advisors. In 2025, Beaumont Advisors became a partner firm of NewEdge Advisors.
For Ron, the true measure of success lies in the testimonies of his clients, who consistently express a sense of relief and reassurance after each appointment. Whether it’s addressing concerns about retirement planning, navigating market volatility, or simply providing clarity on financial matters, Ron’s approach is rooted in empathy and understanding.
Ron is a devoted family man and an active member of his community. Ron has been married to his beloved wife, Susan, since 1969. Together, they have two children, Michelle, and Daniel.
