With over 35 years of experience, Mariano got his start in the construction industry as a teenager. Throughout his career Mariano witnessed numerous accidents due to lack of knowledge and language barriers, ultimately choosing to pursue formal safety training to educate himself and share his knowledge with others around him. Mariano chose the construction industry because of the vast opportunities it provides. He has been the Safety Manager at Starr for 3 years and when he’s not working Mariano enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, hiking, camping and fishing.
