Ron Schlimme

Ron grew up in Cape Girardeau, Missouri and earned a baseball scholarship from Oklahoma State. After graduating in 1964, Ron began his teaching career in Columbia in 1965 at Russell Elementary School, eventually becoming Principal of Lee Elementary School for 29 years.

In the 1980’s, Ron developed an interest in the Missouri Public School Teachers pension which led him to research and report on trends and performance of teacher’s pensions nationally. Much of Ron’s work laid the foundation for the increase in funding for Missouri Teachers pensions in the early 1990’s.

Ron has worked with LaBrunerie for over 29 years and counsels teachers on investments and retirement decisions and acts as a trusted manager for the firm’s daily activities. Ron and his wife Sarah have been married for 57 years and have nine grandchildren.
