Rick's Team

Rick Rizzo

Founder

I founded Rick's RV 40 years ago. I still enjoy coming to work and leading this excellent team we have assembled over the years. Outside of work, I am blessed with a wonderful family; my wife, Vicki, and my kids Vince and Angie.

Jeff Pilon

President

I'm Jeff Pilon and I've been here pretty much from the beginning. I started at Rick's RV Center when I was 15 and have learned just about every aspect of the business and industry. I still enjoy coming to work every day and spending time with my team. My wife, Kim and I have 4 children; Ryan, Emily, Luke, and Tyler.

General Manager

Hi, I'm Mike and I'm part of the family ownership. My Papaw started the business. I've been with Rick's RV Center for over 35 years. When I'm not thinking about ways to fire our Internet Sales Manager, I'm busy helping our customers with their camping needs. My free time is spent with my wife, Kim, and kids; Jack, Molly, Brian and Danny. Thank you to all of our customer's that keep my kids fed! Also, I am now a Papaw myself as my wife and I recently welcomed our first grandchild Elizabeth to the family!

Sales Associate/ IT

I've kept busy over the past 25 years by fixing computers, ordering inventory, and helping my customer's find the perfect RV. I am happily married to my wife, Carrie, and we have 4 adorable children. In my free time I enjoy model trains, especially when my wife lets me wear the engineer's cap. Choo Choo!

Sales Manager

Joining the Rick’s RV family back in 2006 was the best career decision I could have made. It was either that or the glue factory, so in hind sight, it wasn’t that hard of a decision. I’m truly blessed to have found a place like Rick’s RV to provide for my family and grow as a person, father and husband. Speaking of growing, I work out all the time with my best friend Tom and my muscles are getting really big! I can even bounce my pecs! I have a beautiful wife, Cathy, and 5 awesome kids; Briana, Ashley, Matthew, Tyler and Charlotte.

I've been the Business Manager at Rick's for 20 years. I bought a travel trailer from Brian and had so much fun I never left! When I'm not getting our customer's great terms, I enjoy spending my time with my family at the campground.

When I'm not busy pulling your motorhomes and travel trailers into our service department, I can be found enjoying my Jayco Swift with my amazing wife Diane and our 3 sons; Stephen, Ryan and Matthew.

Hello, my name is Andrew Lynch and I am the newest member of the Rick’s RV team. Although I have only been here a short time, I am already having a ton of fun helping people find their perfect camper! I personally like to multi task and am a big fan of the wet baths! Outside of work I can be found checking out the local music scene with my beautiful girlfriend Kaitlyn.

I've run the Internet Sales Department at Rick's RV for over 15 years. I really enjoy coming into work every day! The only thing I love more is going home to the love of my life, Stacey and wonderful kids, Ben and Emma.

Sales Associate / Director of Communications

I'm entering my 11th year at Rick's RV Center. I grew up in Joliet, and probably know you, or at least one of your family members. I am fun loving, talkative, and spend 86.5% of my time on social media. You will rarely see me without a phone to my ear. I love spending time with my wife, Alyssa, and our two beautiful daughters. Come in and pick out a new RV... or just come in for a high five!
