What brought you to Arizona?
“We're originally from Staten Island, NY. My wife was tired of the cold and we loved Arizona. It's a short drive to Vegas and the beaches in San Diego, and if we want snow, it's just two hours north! We love North Peoria because of Lake Pleasant—we enjoy boating and fishing there.”

“I love making pizzas for my friends and family. We use fresh ingredients from my wife's garden. For the Super Bowl, I made over 50 pizzas for friends and family.”

Opening F45 Fitness in Peoria is his latest venture that keeps him closer to home.
