The young professional, mentor, actor and producer of upcoming film Memories of Murder, Jacksonville, Florida native, Ron Lewis, Jr., is a natural when it comes to conducting business. In his short tenure as CEO of e-commerce business, L2Unlimited.com, Ron has proven to withstand the test of challenges, learn the art of negotiation and appreciate the benefits of sowing good seeds.
Currently, a Business Administration student at the University of Phoenix, the budding entrepreneur manages his vibrant umbrella business enterprises -L2 Unlimited Promotional Products, L2 Unlimited Athletics and L2 Unlimited Entertainment-- with younger brother, Marcus Lewis which was created in 2005. Successfully, they've garnered both local and national media attention in both print and broadcast media (urban business magazine NV, Florida-based African-American business magazine, Onyx and Multi-cultural Magazine In-Focus, Jacksonville-based newspaper, Florida Times Union and on local news stations, and more.) because of their impeccable character and uncompromisable business acumen. Further L2 Unlimited is Certified with and is the Youngest Florida Minority Supplier Development Council Member. With this certification, Ron's business has been able to garner business from companies such as University of North Florida, IAP-Hill Corporation, Goodrich Corporation, Convergys and many other large corporations.
Truly setting the pace for greatness in his future, Ron has earned the distinctive honor of Up & Coming Youth Entrepreneur by the First Coast Business Alliance, Inc. during the annual Mixing with the Stars and was nominated by the Jacksonville Business Journal as an Up and Coming All-Star under 30.
As an observant and concerned business leader within his crime-ridden community, Ron has committed countless hours in mentoring black male youth through Kessler Mentoring Connection and tutors and mentors inner-city youth at the Tony Boselli Foundation for Kids. Spending time with youth has enabled Ron to share his experiences and triumphs as a black male graduate of an inner-city school. Further, Ron thoroughly understands the vital importance of mentoring after being privileged to have several well-respected role models and a strong parental support system. Continuing his efforts, he is a member of 100 Black Men as a mentor and volunteer. He is a speaker and mentor at Florida Community College Pre-collegiate programs as well as the Boys & Girls Club of America. In his quest to find other volunteer efforts, he became a member of the FreeMasons, as they provide a vast amount of opportunities to give back to his community. As a young man, he worked on many local campaigns for City Council, Congress, House of Representatives and more. He recently became a member of ImpactJax, the young professionals program within the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce.
Aside from making a difference in the community and the business world, Ron is also turning heads in the fashion and entertainment scene. This debonair young man is pursuing an acting career after receiving an abundance of requests for fashion productions and other events. He's had small roles in HBO's Recount, Never Back Down and The Year of Getting To Know Us. He will be starring in and producing upcoming Thriller, Memories of Murder, opposite Leslie Easterbrook (Halloween), Bill Mosely (Halloween) and Rosa Blasi (Strong Medicine). Memories is looking to shoot in the Tampa, Florida area. He's also presented comedy shows and networking receptions with business consortium, Focused on Business. He has an honest respect for women, children and family, having close relationships with his own family. His personality is laid back but fun. He was told by his acting coach, Cindy Hogan (Veronica Mars, Fashion House), that he should never stop smiling because his smile leaves a lasting impression on all who encounter him. He is currently in acting workshops with Tasha Smith (Daddy's Little Girls, Why Did I Get Married). Ron is just an all-around business, not just a business man.
