His family has lived in the Bennett's Valley area since his great-great-grandparents immigrated there from Italy in the early twentieth century. Mario has always been involved with Pennsylvania's elk, and his family has run an elk hunting guiding service for many years. A graduate of Bucknell University with degrees in computer engineering and history, Mario currently lives in State College, Pennsylvania, where he works as a software engineer, but he still visits the Pennsylvania Wilds, his home, whenever he can.view less
