Ron entered the insurance
business in 1969 and began specializing in disability insurance. As the opportunity
presented itself in 1973, Ron moved from New York City to Houston, Texas.
In Houston, he achieved notoriety and the respect of his peers nationally. During
this period, Ron became one of the Charter Member RHU's (Registered Health Underwriters),
a designation accredited by the National Association of Health Underwriters.
In 1977 he began his own firm, Ron Cohen Insurance, Inc. and Founded
The Houston Association of Health Underwriters. To this day, he is the only
President to have served two terms. Also serving as a Texas State Board member of
the Texas Association of Health Underwriters.
Ron has been a top
DI Producer for several carriers over the years and has mentored many producers
who continue to contact him for copies of his articles (over 200) or thank him for
his many webinars they've enjoyed listening to. He continues to inspire Carrier
Executives, Brokerages, Claims Reps, Media Reps, Editors, Producers and others within
and related to the disability insurance industry.
His alliance with
and respect from the media and publications related to disability insurance is obvious.
He is now referring other individuals to these sources, so the next generation can
come to the forefront with their ideas and suggestions. " It's time for the young
to be heard!"
In 2005 Ron Co-Founded the International DI Society.

He has been a guest speaker for many insurance companies, societies, clubs, and
several Disability Income Training Council meetings and all agree, his passion for
disability is contagious and inspirational.
Ron has been a consultant to several insurers in the design of their disability
products as well being contacted by carriers, magazines, and organizations for his
opinion. It is not unusual for his name to come up when discussing disability
insurance. As everyone in his family has been disabled, he knows all too well,
what really happens. "The reality of a disability can be devastating to an entire
family."
Ron has been awarded
the National Association of Health Underwriters President's Council Lifetime
Achievement Award.
In 2008, Ron received
what we all believe to be his most cherished honor. The W. Harold Petersen
Lifetime Achievement Award. "Without question, the most emotional moment of
my career!" Ron Cohen, RHU
Dear Ron,
Thank you very much for sending your two articles to me. Both of them
are meaningful and well-written. Your writings follow your speech
patterns, so when I read any of your articles, I automatically hear your
distinctive voice.
I am a student of American History and I have great interest in the War
of Independence. My favorite revolutionary person is Thomas Paine.
He was the true communicator for the cause and I think of you as the Thomas
Paine of the disability insurance income insurance industry.
Kindest personal regards,
Ken Wylie
2007 W. Harold Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient
International DI Society
Congratulations on winning the W. Harold Petersen
Lifetime Achievement Award--you richly deserve it. When you asked the people
in the audience to stand up if they were ever positively influenced by you,
I stood up because of your passion and commitment to DI. People like you and
Harold are leaving big shoes for the next generation to fill…not that you are
anywhere near retiring from the scene yet. As you said, maybe in 10 years they’ll
give you the award again!
Regards,
