Vincent N. Concessi,

Hat Rack

With a perpetual yearning for learning, I've worn many hats.
Some hats became careers while others were solely hobbies.

Tuscan Chef
Foodie

With a degree in architecture in addition to many years constructing and redesigning LEGO cities, I am constantly re-evaluating and restructuring. If offered, I'd have a blackbelt in "MacGyver" improvised-engineering.

World Traveler
Ambassador

Perhaps a bit sheltered as a kid, my horizons were broadened and I was infected with wanderlust the first time I stepped foot in a new culture. My curiosity has flourished ever since.

Scuba Diver
Wildlife Enthusiast

Much like historians have looked to the heavens and the deep blue sea to go where few have traveled - I thirst to wander high and low while seeing animals in their natural habitat.

As a means of capturing and sharing the beautiful moments I've been blessed with in my life, painting and photography also allows me to reflect while relaxing.

Timeline

Many events and circumstances molded me into the person I've become. I pride myself on being a compassionate humanitarian with both an analytical and eccentric eye who seems to have a way of jumping head first into any situation whole-heartedly and come out smelling like roses.

Born and Raised

Naturally curious as a kid trekking my backyard, fields, and neighborhood on two feet or two wheels, dusk to dawn.

Higher Education

Surrounded by peers at Syracuse University, later University of Detroit Mercy, who challenged my perception.

One small step...

First time traveling alone in a foreign land - a summer exploring and learning in Europe.

A new home

After finishing my formal education - I took a chance moving to Volterra, a small Tuscan Hilltown.

Challenge accepted

Left a career to pursue aspirations of producing a travel tv show like no other and further my education.

Photobook

Having to choose only a select few pictures to best encapsulate the many aspects of who I am is difficult to say the least.

  • All
  • Travels
  • Works
  • Animals

Egypt

The history of Luxor, Egypt - particularly in Karnak Temple, much like its monumental architecture, is beyond belief.

The Amazon

Repelling down a waterfall that feeds into the Amazon River.

Ecuador

Climbing up from the base of the waterfall to its top, exhausting but rewarding!

Sous Chef

Taking a break with Executive Chef Ivana while working in Tuscany.

Antarctica

With the curious king penguins on the island of South Georgia enroute to the mainland of Antarctica.

The Galápagos Islands

Scuba diving with hammerhead sharks. Engaging with marine iguanas, sea turtles and even penguins while under the waters of the Galápagos Islands is like no other.

Sculpting

While living in a Tuscan town known for its alabaster sculptures, I would occasionally sculpt as a means to engage with the local culture.

Brazil

A highlight of Rio de Janeiro is the adrenaline rush of hang gliding over the Ipanema Beach.

Virtual 3D Animation

A virtual world built from scratch to create an interactive experience and video to portray my ideas for a travel television show. [Access upon request]
