2022 Midwest RTO Training Expo

September 13, 2022 - September 14, 2022
The 2022 Midwest RTO Training Expo will be held in Columbus, Ohio on September 13 & 14, 2022. We are thrilled to be running our Midwest Expo again in 2022 and bringing it back to Columbus, Ohio. While we love our event at Belterra, Columbus is so central for other dealers. We look forward to getting some attendance from Pennsylvania dealers and Michigan dealers—as well as our Indiana and Kentucky friends.

Mike Tissot

Countryside Rentals Inc., dba Rent-2-Own

Mike grew up in the rent-to-own industry under the guidance of his father, former APRO President and RTO legend Darrell Tissot. For nearly 25 years, Mike’s innovative leadership has helped expand the family business to more than 40 stores across Ohio and Kentucky while also shaping the industry as a whole.

He has served as President of the Ohio Rental Dealers Association, an APRO board member and Treasurer, and President and Treasurer of the TRIB Group. His contributions have earned him the APRO President’s Award of Excellence and the title of APRO Rental Dealer of the Year.

Outside of RTO, Mike enjoys time at the lake house or in Orange Beach, Alabama, with his girlfriend, Angela Strong McCool. A passionate Cincinnati Reds fan, he rarely misses a game, whether watching or listening alongside his parents. He also takes every opportunity to visit Arizona, where his daughter is currently attending Arizona State University.
