Ron Warren is the Chairman President of the Valve Manufacturers Association (VMA). Ron Warren earned a BS degree from Michigan State University with an emphasis in economics and psychology. Shortly thereafter, He earned an MBA degree with an emphasis in marketing from Loyola of Chicago.

 I determined at the time that if I was going to get into sales and marketing, it would be an opportune time to do so. As I enjoyed learning about and working with equipment going into power plants, it was a natural segue to join a valve company when an opportunity presented itself.
At that point, I had an opportunity to work for Keystone Valve as a salesman in Chicago and since then, I have been in and out of the industry working with other flow control companies and products such as pumps and mechanical seals. I have spent the last 14 ½ years at Bray International Inc.

When he finished his MBA, he worked for a major power, architectural and engineering firm in Chicago, leading a group in the Mechanical, Analytical Department. Our focus was writing specifications for equipment in power plants.
