Joseph A. Valenti was born into a large Italian family and raised in St. Louis, MO. Four generations of Valentis owned and operated a local grocery store and meat market.
It was an unwritten rule in the family that your first job would be in the family business. The second unwritten rule was to provide outstanding service. If you offered more than your customers expected, you’d have a customer for life.
For over seven years, Joe worked side-by-side with his family before branching off to attend the University of Missouri of St. Louis. After college, Joe began his career of 29 years in sales with one of the oldest home improvement companies in the area.
It was during this time that Joe was exposed to many skilled carpenters, trade professionals and experts that provided education on the simplest projects. They taught him to do things the proper way or to not do them at all.
