Robert's Story
Life
After graduating from NFHS in 1986 I briefly attended Niagara Univesity, but then left school to take a job with Spinneybeck. Spent the next 18 years working at Spinneybeck. During that time I met and married my wife, Liz, and went to school part time, getting an Associates degree from NCCC and later a Bachelors degree from Canisius. Currently studying for my MBA.
Liz and I were married September 17, 1994 and had our first child, a daughter named Paige Makenzie Conti. Paige was born on June 17, 2004. Paige's brother, Owen Robert Conti, was born this past January 19, 2007.
When Liz and I married we moved into a home in Cheektowaga. We lived there until December, 2006 when we bought our current home in Snyder, NY.
I am currently working as VP Operations for Garrett Leather Corp. in Buffalo, NY. Garrett is an importer/distributor of Italian up...Expand for more

School
Call me crazy, but the teacher that had the biggest impact on me was Mr. Rizzo who I had for Course I in 9th grade (at Gaskill). I remember I got sick during the year and Mr. Rizzo had a policy that if you were too far behind on homework and/or test corrections you had to come to school early or stay late until you were caught up. Since I was out long enough to have fallen behind, I spent extra time getting caught up on the work for his class. I've always done well at math but it's one of those subjects that you need the material you're learning today in order to understand the work your going to do next week. Mr. Rizzo making me stay kept me up to speed and probably made math my favorite subject in school.
Thanks, Mr. Rizzo.
