Meet the All Star Rentals Team: The Magic Makers Behind Your Events!

Michael Erickson

Mike- Owner of All Star Rentals

Owner

Before All Star Rentals opened its doors in 2002, Mike owned and operated multiple gas stations and rental properties. After gaining 20+ years of experience, he decided to make a change and jump into the fun, fast-paced world of party rentals!  Mike brings dedication and a hands-on style to the day-to-day operation of the business, and has spent the last 20 years growing and expanding All Star Rentals into the successful rental company it is today.  When you see him around the office, he'll have a Pepsi in his hand and be happy to talk numbers with you.  His ASR Team is family to him, so Saturday donut runs and team lunches are his way of saying "Thank You" and showing his appreciation.  On the rare occasion that Mike isn't in the office, he enjoys spending time with his grandkids and taking them to fun and unique places around the state.  He and his wife, Phyllis, enjoy time together, reminiscing with friends and family, over dinners and at their annual family reunions, and dreaming of where they'll travel in their retirement, though we all know, he has no plans of retiring any time soon.  He's still having fun crunching numbers, driving the delivery trucks when we need him to, and dreaming of what's next for All Star Rentals!

Phyllis Erickson

Phyllis- Co-owner of All Star Rentals

Co-Owner

Phyllis and Mike have been married for 45 years and have been in business together for almost all of those!  When Phyllis isn't spending time with her 6 grandchildren, she is in the office handling ASR's finances and administrative needs.  When you see her in the office, she'll probably have a grandchild by her side, paperwork in her arms, or a treat for a team member's birthday or work-iversary.  She is also super helpful to our linen team when an extra set of hands is needed.  She managed that area of the business for us for many years, so from time to time, you can still find her helping the team wash, press, and package linens.  Outside of ASR, she loves to go bowling with friends, and she and Mike enjoy going out to dinner at some of their favorite spots and connecting with friends.
