Angelo is Brooklyn born and bred. He is currently a property and project manager for a private real estate portfolio and cultivates an organic garden, while also maintaining a flock of fifty egg-laying hens at the BACAS’ Hudson Valley location, providing local soup kitchens and food pantries with locally grown food, while raising funds from the sales of free-range egg to support BARD’s Prison Initiative. He graduated from Stony Brook University with a degree in oceanography and marine science, with a concentration on how marine ecosystems react to an array of anthropogenic impacts. Freshly out of school, Angelo worked with Cafeteria Culture, a not-for-profit in New York City public schools, teaching environmental literacy and consciousness with a particular focus on the effects of plastic pollution in marine ecosystems.

After spending numerous summers visiting his family in the Vallo di Diano, Angelo joined BACAS to deepen his love for the region and to be immersed in an environment striving to retain its history and ecologically-minded relationship with its rich natural resources and beauty.
