My name's Giovanni Petruzziello, and I'm a 28 year old entrepreneur based in Connecticut.
Below you can find some of my past and present passion projects.
Established
The LAB has been a dream of mine since I started Legends Offroad Performance in 2013 at the age of 16 years old. I always envisioned a huge, beautiful shop built exactly how I wanted it, and that’s exactly what The LAB is. The spirit of Legends Offroad Performance still lives inside The LAB, as it’s the same LLC with a new name. While the foundation remains the same, the business model has evolved into what The LAB is today: a private car club with selective customization for cars and trucks. The LAB is exclusive to both members and customers.
Established

We ship freshly baked cookie skillets nationwide, giving dessert lovers an easy way to enjoy bakery-quality indulgence wherever they are, each in a re-usable, recyclable, microwave-safe skillet.

Earlier Projects
Years in Operation
At just 16, Gio customized the headlights on his first truck with color-changing halos. He posted the results to social media and immediately recognized that others wanted the same. He started offering the service, building a loyal customer base and a reputation for quality. What started in a small shed quickly grew into a thriving retrofitting operation. By age 19, the business had grown to $1M/Year in sales. Legends Offroad was closed at the launch of LGND SUPPLY CO in February 2019.

Founded as an extension of the Legends Auto ecosystem, Legends Auto Parts was built to serve enthusiasts with a trusted, centralized online destination for quality parts across all vehicle types.
