Mike Risell

Maintenance Division Leader

One of my favorite aspects of my job is the opportunity to coach and educate, whether it’s in the office with a colleague, on a job site with a team member, or with a customer. The supportive environment at Great American allows our team members to showcase their talents and grow from within.

If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would open a custom classic car building company. My passion for cars, combined with a love for design, makes the idea of creating and promoting classic cars incredibly appealing. If I weren’t so effective in my current role, I’d likely pursue a career in teaching. I’ve also been coaching soccer for nearly 20 years and find immense satisfaction in watching my teams progress through the various stages of the game. On Sunday mornings, you’ll often find me preparing breakfast for my wife, Laurie, and our two sons, Liam and Kieran.
