Ramon Uribe is a dynamic speaker who is passionate about sharing the abstinence message.

Ramon grew up in California in what he refers to as an all too familiar Hispanic home. My mother was pregnant at 17 with the first of her five children. We were a poor family being raised by a single mom. But instead of becoming another statistic, Ramon broke the cycle. After high school, he joined the Navy and helped with the efforts that ultimately led to the end of the Bosnian war. The GI Bill paved the way for Ramon to receive a degree in Communications from the University of California. He then received another BA in Madrid, Spain. Most recently, Ramon earned a Masters in Academic Studies. Ramon also has extensive experience as a mediator between the English and Spanish-speaking world both in the spoken and written word. No doubt, Ramon's commitment to abstinence has a great deal to do with his amazing success story.

Beyond being well educated, traveling the world and serving in the military, Ramon is an amazing role model for today's youth! Learning to overcome difficult circumstances has provided Ramon the passion to reach out and empower today's youth to do the same.

Ramon's ultimate goal is to help his own people become free from the oppression that sex outside of marriage can bring: a vicious cycle of fatherless homes, poverty, welfare dependence and lower levels of education.

When he is not speaking for Aim For Success or working on his studies, Ramon enjoys athletic pursuits. He loves running, swimming, hiking and especially skydiving. He also enjoys reading (when he can find the time) and visiting relatives in Mexico.
