A native of Queens, NY, Vinny grew up in working middle class family. Hard work and earning your privileges was an everyday necessity. Involved in sports since youth, he learned the value of team work, as well as what it took to succeed as on an individual level. He quickly learned that working hard would get you past half of your competition, they other half was discipline, knowledge and the ability to work with others.
After attending private catholic school through high school, Vinny earned his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from CUNY Queens College in Flushing, NY. The monotonous routine of accounting quickly became apparent to Vinny and he transitioned into the sales field as a licensed property and casualty insurance agent. Along with a childhood friend, they started an insurance business from scratch at the age of 23. 11 years later, their insurance business is thriving, so much so that it allowed Vinny to take a leap into the real estate industry in 2012 without sacrificing his insurance business.
