Terry Michael “Mike” Fister - Owner


Mike Fister, son of Vincent Fister, started working at his father’s company when he was just 12 years old. He continued his employment with the company while attending the University of Kentucky, earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Commerce/Accounting in 1966. In 1975, at the age of 30, Mike, a United States Army veteran, assumed operational leadership of the family business and has continued leading it since. Under Mike’s leadership, Vincent Fister, Inc. has become one of the largest moving and storage companies in Central Kentucky, today employing more than 100 employees. The Vincent Fister name is known for its integrity and quality service not only in Kentucky but throughout the United States.

While at Amazon Jorge earned a “Door Desk Award,” the highest award presented by Amazon to select employees for “well-built ideas” that create significant savings for the company and enable lower prices for customers. A Chicago native and a graduate of Maryville College in Maryville, Tenn., Jorge draws on his years of professional experience in helping companies grow, enhance operational performance and provide greater value for customers.
