Mario grew up on the east and west coast, in Sunnyvale, CA, and Alpharetta, GA. He graduated from Georgia State University with degrees in Finance and Economics, and once served as a program chair for Leadership Georgia as an alumnus. Just like his bicoastal roots, Mario has two sides––the finance whiz and the thrill-seeking undercover rockstar. He credits this balance to his children, who keep him laughing and humble, and his wife who inspires him to “keep doing good.”
