Meet the Team



President & Founder
Ryan Gabel
Based in Poughkeepsie, NY, Ryan founded Alternate Golf Logos in 2020 bringing a lifelong passion to the world of golf merchandising. He designed his first golf logo on a scorecard at the age of 15, the logo you now see at Red Hook Golf Club this very day. Ryan competed at the Division 1 level at Binghamton University, graduating in 2008. He enjoys working with former colleagues from his time in the PGA of America system. Ryan, a brain tumor survivor, describes AGL as more than a dream job, but a calling that taps into his love for creativity and problem solving that has invigorated his love for this special game.
