MEET MARIO
I'm Mario Parrotta—speaker, father, husband.
But there was a time I didn’t want any of those titles… and didn’t even think they were possible.
Started using drugs at 11. Locked up at 15. By 18, I nearly took a man’s life during a robbery.
I didn’t care if I lived or died.
But at 25, God stepped in. He didn’t just rescue me—He gave my pain purpose.
Now I speak to help students find direction, challenge men to fight forward, and guide leaders to rise with integrity.
And show others that transformation is still possible, regardless of your past.
I don’t speak from theory. I speak from the trenches of real life—addiction, regret, and redemption.

Deacon Tim Noca
Diocese of Pittsburgh
Freedom is always accessible no matter the slavery to sin and hope is always accessible no matter the pain from suffering. Two examples of lessons Mario has learned through some dramatic life experiences. I’m honored to have opportunity to recommend one of the best Christian men that I know. He’s a friend that I trust at the deepest levels. His coaching is wise and his witness is powerful. Thank you Jesus for the great work you are doing through Mario Parrotta!
