m 100% Italian, the only boy among eight children, raised the old-fashioned way by my grandfather, Cleco, and my three great-uncles, Quinto, Tato, and Donato. They taught me the values that shaped my life: family, honesty, loyalty, trust, and respect. My life has taken me down many different roads. I worked the Boston waterfront and in restaurants throughout Boston, eventually becoming a Junior Executive Chef at the Ritz-Carlton. I traded bond futures in Chicago, worked as a college scout for female athletes in Fort Lauderdale, worked offshore in Texas, and served as a captain at a five-star French restaurant. I’ve been around a lot of different people, places, and circumstances—and every chapter gave me another story to tell. Now I’m bringing those experiences to acting. Once I set my mind to something, my determination takes over. I’m determined to make it in this industry. If I’m given the opportunity to show what I can do, I’ll give it everything I have—and I intend to leave my mark.
