My Family

      

  Hi Everybody!  Thanks for visting my page!  I wanted to create a little space within our site that I could use to introduce myself to you a little better.  I have been from the New Castle, PA area my whole life.  My mom, originally Joella Zingaro, is a 1st grade teacher at Shenango Elementary School.  She graduated from Shenango herself before going to Clarion, and then eventually getting her Masters at Westminster.  My dad (also Walt) is a Key Accounts Manager for a company Called CRL out in California that deals in architectural glass hardware.  Having been in sales his whole life he would like you to think that i'm a chip off the old block!  He is originally from the New Kensington, PA area and moved to New Castle after he and my mother met back in college at Clarion.  I also have a younger brother, Victor.  Vic is actually a whole 9 years younger than I am, and will graduate from my old alma mater Neshannock High School this Spring.  That's him in the pics above with my mom and dad, at senior night, and with his girlfriend Katrina in Atlantic City, NJ this summer.  
  
  I attended YSU for four years before I decided to get into the car business.  I wanted to take my business education and see if I could get some sales expierence to go with it.  Well, needless to say, i'm still getting it!  I started out back in the summer of 2004 as a Sales and Leasing Consultant at our Ford Linclon Mercury Hyundai store in Sharon, PA.  After having a great expierence there, and learning a lot about the car business, I was able to take advantage of the opportunity to come work closer to home here at our Honda store as  Internet Sales Manager.  I really do love what I do.  I can't think of any other job that combines sales, business, marketing, and technology quite like this one. 

    I still currently live in Neshannock Township with my fiancee, Lisa Palazzo.  I was lucky enough to have my mom hook me up with her back in the spring of 2005!  She works as a Physical Therapy assistant for Jameson Hospital and ran into my mom when she was having some therapy done on her neck.  I remember my mom coming home and getting pictures of me to bring to Lisa trying to hook us up!  HOW EMBARASSING IS THAT!!  My mom was bringing pictures of me to a girl who never even met me trying to get me a  date!  After a little badgering from my mom, both of us gave in and decided to finally go out on a date so she would let it go.  Turns out mom was right,  Lisa and I are getting married in September of 2010.  Lisa is the Daughter of Dennis and Rosalie Palazzo, both originally from the Youngstown, OH area.  They actually used to own a restaraunt on Midlothian boulevard called Palazzos.  You proabably could guess that I eat good over there on Sundays!  We just got our engagement pictures a few weekends ago (Steelers were on a bye ;) thank goodness!

  

  We both like to spend most of our free time together and with family.  Lisa and her sisters love shopping, and going out to eat.  They love it like they are training to participate in the olympic event of shopping and dining out, if there was one!  I love to play golf. When the weather is nice, its a good excuse to get out there with my dad, brother, and friends.  For as often as I play im not as good as I should be, I have that working man's swing, lol.  We are both huge Steeler fans and love to have parties at our house on game days!  We have been to the Dave Matthews Band Concert almost every year at Post Gazzette Pavillion, and like to go on little vacations when we have the time.  Atlantic city and Niagra Falls were our last two trips, and we are looking forward to going to Naples, FL and to Disney World for our Honeymoon next year.  Lisa has never been there so we just have to go while were down there I guess!
