Giovanni grew up in Calgary, Alberta once his parents immigrated from Italy to Canada to give the kids a better life. Giovanni spent many weekends in the mountains with his family and friends. However, it was his Dad who truly introduced him to the outdoors. Hunting and fishing then became his passion. It was 30 years ago when Giovanni purchased his first bow and fell in love with archery and bowhunting. He now has become an accomplished bowhunter and is a vital part of the Bigstar Arrow team.
