The Founders

The Original Three
Allyis co-founders Richard Law, Ethan Yarbrough, and Ken Efta met in 1993, while graduate students teaching English 101 at Western Washington University.

Respect & Fair Treatment

Treating Employees Right
Allyis was founded on the belief that a company is only as good as its people and their ability to work, as one, toward a common goal. Achieving that goal begins with respect and fair treatment.
