Ron Blue

NCF Co-Founder, Founder of Kingdom Advisors, and Founder of Blue Trust

After earning his MBA from Indiana University in 1967, Ron joined the management group of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. and worked with the firm in New York City, Dallas, and San Francisco. In 1970, Ron founded an Indianapolis-based CPA firm which grew to be one of the 50 largest CPA firms in the United States. But in 1977, he left the CPA world to become Administrative Vice President of Leadership Dynamics International, developing and teaching biblically based seminars in the United States and Africa.

Since 1979, Ron’s God-given passion has led him to help Christians plan and manage their finances so they can maximize giving to kingdom purposes. And in 2003, he helped found Christian Financial Advisors, a training ministry designed to integrate God’s financial wisdom in their advice and counsel.

In 1982, Ron and Larry Burkett helped Terry Parker found the National Christian Foundation. And in 2012, Indiana Wesleyan University established The Ron Blue Institute for Financial Planning, dedicated to multiplying Ron’s more than 40 years of professional experience and the impact of his writings through curriculum development and other products worldwide. Ron and Judy, his wife of 55 years, live in Atlanta. They have five children and 13 grandchildren.
