RGH'S Community Commitment

RGH Enterprises, Inc. has proudly resided in the Baltimore City area for more than 20 years. In an effort to strengthen the community, RGH became a Live Near Your Work (LNYW) employer in 2000. The LNYW program was launched in 1997 as part of Maryland’s neighborhood conservation and smart growth initiative. It was a partnership between the State of Maryland, Baltimore City and Maryland businesses and institutions to revitalize neighborhoods through home ownership of the businesses employees. Each partner provided a $1000 grant reward ($3000 total) for eligible employees to put toward the purchase of a home in Baltimore City. Because of the program’s success, the State of Maryland exhausted its funds for this program while the City of Baltimore and the employer remained. As a result of RGH’s participation in the Live Near Your Work program, 30% of its employees, including Aisha Dawkins, VP of Operations, are now proud Baltimore City homeowners.

On January 13, 2000, RGH Enterprises, Inc. was certified as a “qualified HUBZone small business concern”. As one of the terms of the HUBZone certification, we must meet and maintain a minimum residency requirement of 35% in underutilized business zones. We’ve often reached out to local associations such as the Washington Village Pigtown Career Center when seeking applicants for open positions.

Our Leadership

Ron Hoff

PRESIDENT

Ronald Hoff is the President and CEO of RGH Enterprises, Inc. He is responsible for the overall leadership, management, operations and strategic planning of RGH.

After graduating from Howard Community College in Columbia with an associate degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, Ron went to work for Wang Labs as a Field Service Technician repairing

He left Wang labs about a year later, right after winning the employee of the month award. Although Ron went to work for a few different small businesses, he continued to work on Wang computers and he was the laser printer expert for the company. He traveled the country, teaching technicians in the company how to repair Wang laser
printers. This led him to an opportunity in 1990 to join a small business in San Diego as Executive Vice President, running the service department and doing sales to get more service contracts.

Ron decided to pursue his dream to have his own business. He had $5,000 in savings and spent $1,000 on a start your own business ad in Entrepreneur magazine for refilling toner cartridges. He received the training kit and rebuilt his first toner cartridge in San Diego. This work was rewarding and so he decided to move back home to Baltimore to really get his business going. In October 1991, RGH Enterprises, Inc. was formed.
