Michael Bassirpour is on a mission to become the largest metal recycler in the Midwest, and he's making moves in the right direction. Since taking the helm of GLR in 2014, Bassirpour has expanded the family-owned firm from one site and 40 employees to six sites and over 100 employees. He attributes his success to humble beginnings that helped him forge a strong work ethic. Driven by the grit that elevated him from scrapping amateur to top brass, Bassirpour hopes to eventually be in all major cities in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana with at least 1,000 employees. "I guess some people operate like, 'I hope this works,' and some people operate like, 'This has to happen,'" he said. "You grind, you hustle and you treat people with respect, honesty and dignity and do what you say you're going to do, and that goes a long way."

Ryan LaFontaine's path after graduation was always clear – he wanted to work for his family's auto dealership group, which was established by his father, Michael Sr., and mother, Maureen, in 1984. By 2008, LaFontaine was named chief operating officer of the LaFontaine Automotive Group, which has since grown to encompass 39 franchises, 20 retail locations, a global vehicles division, a parts warehouse and five full-service collision centers, employing more than 1,300 individuals across Michigan. And he is a recognized industry leader, having served as president of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) and recently named chairman of the 2018 North American International Auto Show, the youngest chairman in the show's 111-year history. LaFontaine is also proud to guide the next generation of automotive industry leaders through the LaFontaine Automotive Internship Program, a 12-week immersive experience at his dealerships. And while LaFontaine's career has been meteoric, he suffered a setback in 2008 when he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. LaFontaine took that very difficult experience and turned it into something positive. He had heard about a 10-week nationwide fundraising challenge to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Even though he was fighting cancer and just had twin boys, LaFontaine and his sister, Kelley, decided to enter. "With family and friends at our side, we raised $228,000 for LLS, which was an all-time record," he said. For his efforts, he was named the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Man of the Year in 2010. This successful fundraising effort propelled LaFontaine and his sister to go even further and create the U CAN-CER VIVE Foundation. The organization, which is run solely by volunteers so 100 percent of profits are donated to the cause, provides vital funding and support for local cancer research grants.
