Art Ritter brings a unique blend of military precision, strategic insight, and editorial finesse to everything he does. With over 50 years of experience in business writing, presenting, and organizational leadership, Art knows how to communicate big ideas with clarity, impact, and purpose.

A graduate of the University of Dayton with a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering, Art spent 26 years in the United States Air Force, where he briefed general officers at the highest levels and completed all three tiers of officer training. He holds two master’s degrees—one in Public Administration and one in Business Administration—which he’s put to work ever since, advising organizations on everything from governance and marketing to process design and performance management.

As a founder, and board member at Leadership Books, Art is the engine behind the scenes—guiding editorial development, mentoring authors and editors, and shaping the systems that keep the publishing process running smoothly. His editorial fingerprints are on some of our most successful titles, and his strategic mind is behind much of the structure that makes Leadership Books tick.

A lifelong Presbyterian elder, Art is happily married to his college sweetheart, a proud dad of two, and an even prouder grandfather of three. Whether he’s refining a manuscript, designing a workflow, or offering a sage word of advice, Art brings excellence—and a touch of humor—to every page and project.
