About Angelo:

Angelo is a dedicated member of our board of directors and site selection committee. A unique blend of first-class team captain and player, he can be relied upon to lead any group - be it high school, college or top-level sponsor. He never hesitates to say, "I'm in" and take on a Rebuilding Together challenge. In the wake of Katrina, he was the first volunteer to step forward and travel with us to the Gulf Coast to rebuild homes. He and his company regularly give of their resources, manpower and expertise year-after-year without hesitation. His patience and calming influence in the face of adversity, and his pleasant sense of humor endear him to his colleagues and friends. He is a role model who provides leadership in his community and is a mentor to those who seek to earn an honest day's wage. In addition to his full-time responsibilities running a company, he serves on the board of Associated Builders & Contractors of Rhode Island and as a member of Rhode Island Builders Association. Angelo is always looking for solutions to maximize Rebuilding Together's impact and to manage partnerships that will expand our reach to more individuals. Angelo is married with three children and all of them, including many of his other family members, have been an integral part of Rebuilding Together. While we recognized him as an Unsung Hero in 1999, he is someone that we would gladly honor again and again for his heartfelt dedication and service.
