Meet Packer Thomas Associate, Ron Lame! Ron started with the firm as an intern in January 2025 and joined the team full-time in January 2026. He earned his accounting degree from Youngstown State University and is currently working toward obtaining his CPA license. When asked who inspires him most, he shared that his parents have always been his biggest inspiration. His favorite quote is: “Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.” — Marcus Aurelius.

Ron says one of the things he enjoys most about working at Packer Thomas is the supportive environment. He appreciates that everyone is willing to answer questions, share their knowledge, and help each other succeed, creating a real sense of camaraderie throughout the firm. Outside of work, Ron is a big fan of Ohio sports, especially Ohio State and the Cincinnati Bengals. He also loves music and enjoys collecting vinyl records.

Congratulations Ron! Packer Thomas is proud to have you as a member of our team.

Here's what you need to know about how S-corps work, who they're right for, and what's required to maintain one.

For high-income professionals locked out of traditional Roth contributions, mega Roth conversions offer a powerful alternative. By contributing after-tax dollars to fill unused space under the $72,000 annual 401(k) limit and immediately converting them to Roth, eligible savers can funnel tens of thousands annually into tax-free growth.
