About

From a young age, it was clear that Ron had a unique blend of artistic talent and business acumen. Graduating from Columbus College of Art and Design in 1992, Ron channeled his marketing and advertising degree into roles as a copywriter, ad designer, and screen-printer, honing his skills and gaining valuable experience.

In 1996, Ron took a leap of faith and founded Alley Cat Designs, Inc. What started as a one-man operation, with Ron juggling the roles of artist, salesman, administrator, screen printer, shipper, and bookkeeper, has since blossomed into a thriving enterprise. Today, Alley Cat Designs boasts a workforce of more than 20 employees and maintains stellar reputation in the community, as the “place to go” for custom apparel. "Since 1996, we‘ve had the privilege of serving the Dayton communities and beyond," says Ron. "Many of our initial clients remain with us, a testament to the strong relationships we’ve built. We’re honored to collaborate with hundreds of businesses, school districts, sports and dance teams, and non-profit organizations."

Ron lives by a simple yet powerful motto: under-promise and over-deliver. "Honesty is paramount," he asserts. "We believe in fully explaining the process to our clients and educating them about the quality of our work. I always advise my employees never to make promises they can’t keep. The quickest way to lose trust and accounts is to over-promise and fall short on a deadline."

Ron lives in Germantown, Ohio, with his wife, Joni. He is the proud father of three sons (Robert, Andrew, and Stephen) and three step-daughters (Amber, Courtney, and Alysa).. Contact Ron at ron@alleycatworldwide.com.
