Since childhood Mario had a unique love for agriculture. He followed his father’s footsteps and pursued a career in Agriculture. He would wake up early to go with his father to bale hay. From the age of 18 he worked for several local farming companies and later began his career with Empire Machinery as an Ag Product Support Service Rep where his customers became friends. He later went on to work for Trio Seed. Mario was a very involved father, enjoyed spending time with his daughter and sidekick. He loved her to the moon and back. She was his world. She would ride around with him in his big work truck and got to know a lot of his friends and the Ag business friends. Mario loved his entire family, friends and co-workers. Mario was a hard worker and was self-less human being who was always willing to help all in need. He would go out of his way and would take the shirt off his back if needed.
