Mario was born in Philadelphia but has lived in Northern Virginia most of his life.  He graduated from West Potomac High School, and decided to take a gap year before heading off to college.

During his gap year, Mario traveled around the U.S. working for all kinds of people and learning about different cultures and environments.  His favorite stint was in Chicago, where he worked to renovate and flip houses. 

Mario has worked in customer service for years, in restaurants, as a dock hand at a marina, and in his most recent position in the car sales.  Mario prides himself on building meaningful relationships and doing right by his clients no matter the deal.

Outside of work, Mario enjoys spending time with his family, rooting on the Philadelphia Eagles, and frequenting car shows.
