Vinnie Graziano enjoys day-to-day challenges, and it's a good thing. Not only is he a busy office engineer for FCI North, but he is the proud papa of his first child. Little Brianna was born on July 23, with both sets of grandparents present. Vinnie and Kim live in Tracy, a 30-minute drive from Pleasanton.
In 1995, Vinnie graduated from Fresno State with a degree in Construction Management. His first job was with Silverado, where he stayed until April 1999. At that time, he went to work for FCI North, and was delighted to be back in the northern part of California nearer to family.
A native of Monterrey, Vinnie is an avid mountain biker. He is adapting to cruising around Tracy's flat farmland, taking in the beautiful sights of tomato fields and orchards full of peach, almond and apricot trees. No complaints from Vinnie, who believes handling life is all about a good attitude. He thought Dr. Bowen White, who spoke at the annual retreat at Palm Springs, was "right on the mark."
One of the things Vinnie enjoys about work is dealing with different types of people. He likes the challenge of moving from a heated discussion in a meeting to a calm conversation with a colleague or friend. It's fortunate Vinnie is adaptable, because he is now splitting his time between the 580/680 project and Power Inn Road in Sacramento.
