Ronald L. Robinson

Ronald Robinson Ron is the proud father of four beautiful daughters, and a husband of 27 years to his lovely wife, LaCoya. Ron graduated from The University of Kentucky with a B.S. in Business Administration in 1989. A four-year starter on the football team, he went on to sign a contract with the Indianapolis Colts where his career ended early with a knee injury. Ron has worked for Electronic Data Services (EDS), a Texas based company that specialized in medical claims processing for multiple states and the federal government. After six years of training and learning the Medicaid industry, Ron founded a non-emergency medical transportation company in 1998 with an emphasis on Medicaid (LCP Transportation, LLC.). LCP is currently responsible for nearly half of the RBMC transportation statewide in the state of Indiana. The company serves over 500,000 members. LCP’s customer list includes Centene Corporation, CareSource, IU Health and United Healthcare. (Humana contract begins 2024) Ron’s 25 years of experience has taken LCP Transportation from one million in revenue annually to over seventeen million. Ron has gone on to start a development company, LCP Development LLC. (LCPD-February 2000). LCPD designs and builds fully custom homes in the Indianapolis area. This diversification has helped to develop a great foundation for both companies. Ron’s leadership with these two companies prepared him for his current venture, which includes working with companies seeking funding to go public. His experience and valuable knowledge have helped him identify and evaluate companies seeking capital, and enabled the launch of Stratford Investor Strategies, LLC (Co-Founder). SIS is a project born out of a burning desire to give back through knowledge and access which has led to opportunity. This opportunity will change lives and future generations.
