Mr. Ron J. Lockett II
Brother Lockett embodies the spirit of leadership, service, and visionary entrepreneurship. Known for his composed determination and steadfast presence, he has built a reputation as a man who understands that true success is measured not only by achievement, but by service and impact.
A graduate of Prairie View A&M University, Ron’s foundation was shaped by the values of discipline, excellence, and collective responsibility that define the HBCU experience. Those principles were further strengthened through his lifelong commitment to Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., an organization rooted in achievement, service, and community uplift, and recognized through his selection as both the local and regional Kappa Alpha Psi Brother of the Year. Together, these values continue to guide Ron’s personal and professional journey.
As a co-founder of GO3 Vodka, a Houston based, Black owned premium spirits brand, Ron has successfully merged business innovation with cultural pride, creating a brand that honors legacy while investing in the future. Inducted into the Juneteenth Hall of Fame, he also leads GO3 Vodka’s commitment to giving back, with 8.65 percent of proceeds supporting HBCUs.
Beyond business, Ron is widely respected for his dedication to mentorship, cultural stewardship, and economic empowerment. Ron proudly serves as a board member of the Education & Charities Foundation of Houston, One Delta Plaza Educational Center, Inc., and Prince Hall Masonic lodges, and was also honored with the MLK Community Leadership Award in recognition of his service and impact. Whether supporting educational initiatives, strengthening community partnerships, or fostering spaces where collaboration thrives, he leads with integrity and intention.
King Porus 2026, Ron J. Lockett, II builds, leads intentionally, honorably, and with an unwavering belief in service above self. His story is one of legacy in motion, grounded in brotherhood, guided by purpose, and powered by community.
