Bill Giorgis
Owner, Mike’s Wrecker Service
Bill Giorgis, a second-generation owner of Mike’s Wrecker Service in Saginaw, Michigan, is one of the towing and recovery industry’s most vocal and well-spoken advocates.

Bill also led the national charge as president of TRAA, gaining great credibility for TRAA within the DC community. Giorgis also conceptualized and worked to create the “Law Enforcement Vehicle Identification Guide” still in use today. His commitment to improving safety within the industry has led to many speaking engagements within and outside of the industry. Bill is a certified rescue diver and assists local emergency agencies retrieve vehicles and bodies from the icy waterways around Saginaw. In addition, Bill devotes many hours to improving the Saginaw communities, earning recent recognition by the Saginaw County prosecutors’ office for his assistance with crime victims.
