1) Domenico – or Dom, as most people call him – is a proud father of a six year old girl. He is a part of the “red team” on The Biggest Loser, and will be trained by Erica, who herself has lost major weight through nutrition and exercise. Dom said that without her pushing him to believe in himself, he wouldn’t have gotten through those hard moments. You can see an example of a tough moment from his Instagram page below:
2) Domenico attended the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), which is the #1 culinary arts school in the country. He received an Associates of Arts & Sciences degree in 2009. He then went on to work as a Sous Chef at Scotto Brothers, which was a restaurant in Syosset, New York; next as an owner of George’s Place, which was a burger and fries joint.

3) His career path changed slightly when he went into sales with Sysco, which is a food and kitchen product distribution company. While Dom was there, he was a sales representative. This is what led him to be a food manager for the Department of Education, where he is responsible for setting the menus across the school systems in NYC.
