About Me

Vito the Concrete Guy

Hey everyone, my name is Vito and I was born with concrete in my blood. My father has been doing concrete for 50 years, my mother’s father had been doing concrete for his whole career, and my brother and I have been doing concrete since we were 15. You may be surprised to hear I have an Undergraduate degree from DePaul University, I am a certified Yoga Instructor and have been a Career Coach since 2013. I have been to Africa twice, India once, and hope I can hit all of the National Parks in the states before I die. My friends think I’m crazy for doing the work I do, but I love it.
