Gio was born in New York City, raised in South Florida, and moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts in 2012. He attended Miramar Highschool and graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Sociology & Hospitality and a BBA in Business Management. He obtained his MBA in 2021 from Fitchburg State University in Business Management. 

Gio dedicated his professional life to serving underprivileged populations like the homeless, at-risk youth & elderly/disabled. Most recently, he became the Division Director of Day Habilitation & Family Supports for The Arc Opportunity in Fitchburg, MA.

Gio was a loud and proud Gator Alum, and a Lamdba Theta Phi latin brother and was very passionate about human rights and advocacy. Please support us in fundraising to register this foundation and provide a stepping stool to organize our first scholarships.
