Born in Toronto from Hong Kong immigrant parents, Ron spent most of his childhood skateboarding and listening to punk music. Unlike most kids, he did not watch much television growing up. He graduated in Business Marketing and went on to become a financier for private banks. It wasn't until he discovered the art of long-form storytelling through TV series' that he became fascinated and decided to take up acting. His first gig was appearing on an episode of 'Cash Cab' and other non-union shows. Shortly after his training he went back to being a full time broker after his mother was laid off. He later returned back to acting.
