Ramon Geronimo is a highly energetic yet professional Software engineer, entrepreneur, Content Creator, and Media Director/producer/ editor well-recognized for his dedicated work ethic, humble persona, ambitious nature, and most importantly his passion for professional baseball.
Born in Santiago, the Dominican Republic and currently living in San Francisco, California, Ramon earned a Bachelors's in Business Administration and Management while playing professional baseball with an Independent League. To pursue his life-long dream, with all the blood and sweat it takes, Ramon had to suffer through sports human trafficking which almost cost him his life. But being a proud survivor he decided to step ahead and came forward on National TV to raise his voice for several others suffering in silence.
Having been through such crucial circumstances, Ramon realized what kind of obstacles and hardships young athletes have to face to pursue their dreams. Therefore being an embodiment of commitment, excellence, and entrepreneurial spirit, Ramon started a nonprofit startup “Rising To The Top” to help out young athletes get scholarships, paving their way to their dreams.
Apart from it, Ramon opted for multiple ways to generate as many funds as he could to help maximum people. In a bid to extend his reach, Ramon produced and directed a few Reality TV Shows inspired by his personal story, running baseball tryouts and touring US college coaches in the Dominican Republic for getting scholarships.
Besides that, Ramon went back to school to earn his Bachelors in Computer Science. As a software engineer, Ramon has created incredible applications and startup ideas to auto-generate sufficient funds to complement the scholarship program. Ramon continues to learn new skills each day and spends his free time drawing.
Ramon finds his biggest emotional strength in the love and support of his highly encouraging parents and an awesome wife. Ramon shares a unique bonding with his father, Dr. Ramon Geronimo Guante. His father is his idol who taught him lifelong lessons of kindness and generosity as well as introduced Ramon to baseball too. His father always instilled in Ramon the significance of education and that is why Ramon never stops learning. His father also calls Ramon “el Incomprendido” or “The Misunderstood” because of Ramon’s complicated yet intricate ways of observing things. Hence, his father has always been with him, sometimes boldly encouraging his ideas and sometimes silently allowing him to explore his true calling.
Ramon’s mother, Virgen Adames “Doña Charo”, is Ramon’s inspiration to never give up and to never be afraid to start all over again. Doña Charo quit her career to fully dedicate her time to raise Ramon and his siblings. Only when they became old enough she started Law School and became a lawyer taking classes at night. He learned from his mother that it is never too late to begin a career and pursuing his Double Major in Computer Science and starting all over was not a hard decision.
Moreover, Ramon really treasures his beautiful 17-year relationship with his wife Jessie and to him, there’s no feeling as ecstatic as to give her a reason to smile. With Jessie, Ramon feels emotionally and mentally content enough to focus his mind and channel his inner creativity. He believes that with Jessie by his side, he can dauntingly conquer all obstacles of life and stand in the face of all odds with pride and prestige.
