Ron Coury reflects on retaining his ethics while succeeding during the1970s and beyond.
LAS VEGAS, April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Las Vegas memoir, "Tenacity: A Vegas Businessman Survives Brooklyn, the Marines, Corruption and Cancer to Achieve the American Dream," has achieved Amazon No.1 bestseller status in the business ethics category.
The true-life story by longtime businessman and serial entrepreneur Ron Coury chronicles his climb up the ladder as founder and partner of businesses including running a tavern, gaming, graphics/printing, limousines and automobile sales, all while facing political and police corruption, bribery, coercion and even death threats. The book addresses the question, "How does one retain a sense of ethics amidst an atmosphere so rife with corruption?" Coury details the struggles he faced and the losses he endured in this eye-opening, insider's look behind the curtain of business during the good-ol'-boy days of Southern Nevada.
"In many ways, it was still the Wild West out here. Amazing small-town opportunities with reward and risk at every turn," Coury said. "I've been lucky to use my instinct and common sense to sniff out wrongdoers lurking in the shadows while also seeing loyal and solid friends supporting me at the most challenging times. 'Tenacity' describes much of all scenarios; the good, bad and hazardous obstacles that confronted me. It seems as though readers are responding to my story in a positive way."
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Coury arrived in Las Vegas in 1973 following two years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps. He currently serves as a board member of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation, in addition to his work on the boards of several companies and charitable organizations. He has three children and five grandchildren and remains active in business and community service endeavors throughout Southern Nevada.
