Vito M PirriVito M. Pirri was born in the east end of Toronto, Canada in 1951 to a second-generation Italian family. As the third generation of an entrepreneurial family, he stayed true to his roots and became a successful and well-known businessman. Today he lies with his wife, Ann, and Tony (the cat) for nine months of the year in his property on the shores of Lake Erie in Ridgeway, Ontario (the Niagara Region). His winters are spent in various destinations across the globe.

Vito is an experienced columnist and journalist who has written for several publications, but The Boy With The Scar is his first book. He notes he wrote his book as "encouragement and motivation for those whose challenges seem insurmountable and are eager to pursue a path a little less travelled. With a career spanning 60 years and a life full of new ideas and personal challenges, I felt compelled to tell my story and share the message that with hard work one really can achieve their dreams."
