Mike Ritter
Workforce & Business Development Director
Email: Mike@fruitachamber.org
Mike is a graduate of Colorado Mesa University, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications with a minor in Political Science. Mike is from Arvada, Colorado, a suburb of Denver, and moved to the western slope in 2017 to attend CMU.
He fell in love with the uniqueness of western CO and can’t imagine ever moving back to the front range. In his free time, Mike enjoys playing with his dog, an adorable one year old Hound Doodle, watching movies with his brother, and loves to Golf (though his game could use some work). At the Chamber, Mike works hard to promote Chamber events and all the benefits the FACC has to offer. Mike is passionate about our community and is motivated to help make it stronger every day!
