Hi Neighbor!

WE LOVE THIS COMMUNITY

Hi, I'm Ron, the founder of Business Outside The Box Inc., a company built on one core belief: small and mid-sized businesses deserve the same powerful voice in the marketplace as the big brands. My journey began in 2001, working behind the scenes to provide online marketing tools and services for a multi-billion-dollar organization and its thousands of executive members. For 15 years, I helped shape digital strategies at scale—learning what truly works, what doesn’t, and what businesses actually need to grow.

That experience led to the creation of Business Outside The Box, an all-in-one marketing solution designed specifically for small and mid-sized businesses across North America. Through custom themed websites, social media marketing, reputation and listings management, and search engine optimization, I’ve helped business owners clarify their message, expand their reach, and position themselves as trusted experts in their industries. MyElginConnect is a natural extension of that mission—bringing local businesses together, amplifying their stories, and helping our community thrive by making it easier to connect, support, and grow together.
