As it continues to expand its national footprint, while remaining focused on being a leader in the restoration industry, Rytech recognizes the importance of a professional, dedicated team.
Increasing franchise locations enables us to attract more clients and increase the value of the entire national Rytech effort. Rytech Restoration is pleased, therefore, to announce the addition of Michael Riegel, CFE to its’ Franchise Development team.

In addition to Mike, Rytech is also pleased to announce the promotion of Mr. Steven Seabaugh as Rytech’s Senior Director of Franchise Development. Mike will work alongside Myron Blankenbaker, Steven Seabaugh, and Denise Couben to further efforts on the strategic national growth of the Rytech Restoration brand.
As a veteran of franchising Mike brings more than 20 years’ experience to the task and has a proven success record recruiting and awarding franchises within the property restoration industry, and other franchised service channels.
Mike, who is a US Navy veteran, resides in Mansfield Ohio and began working in franchising in 1999. His dedication to the field eventually lead him to earn the CFE (Certified Franchise Executive) designation from the International Franchise Association (IFA). He also has his WRT (Water Restoration Technician) and ASD (Applied Structural Drying) certificates from the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).
He and wife Beth have been married for 26 years and have a daughter named Grace and Son Mitch. Together, the Riegel family enjoys riding motorcycles, snow skiing, and watching Ohio State Football.
In joining Rytech Mike will work with a company that has a solid growth plan that continues to expand and build successful locations from the ground up. Because it knows what it takes, Rytech guides franchise owners towards their success and Mike is the perfect fit for that objective.
Rytech can help franchise owners do more than achieve professional and personal goals. Franchisees have the opportunity to invest in themselves and their future in the most favorable means, providing a satisfying work-life balance.
Additionally, Rytech provides exclusive service areas, to avoid competing with other franchise owners for business--with protected markets throughout the US available to aspiring owners ready to take the lead and run their own franchise.
Along with Mike, the entire Franchise Development team is available to explain why Rytech Restoration is the right business opportunity for those looking to own an inflation proof firm.
