About Us

Vinnie’s passion for life & creativity was influenced by his loving parents and siblings. He grew up largely in the Tahoe/Reno area and recognized his passion for the outdoors at a young age. It was through the experiences in the wild that he became at one with nature & recognized his truth. You might ask how is this relevant to community and professionalism? Well as Vinnie would tell you, that was the inspiration that led him to begin guiding others into the wild and into their own fears. It was through guiding whitewater river tours, guiding snowmobile tours, & teaching the art of Yoga that Vinnie found his passion for helping others find their truth & seeing beyond himself.

On the inside CoAuto is full of culture and great people. Vinnie is unique when it relates to what’s typical. Pulling from his yoga practice, he encourages breath work, meditation, yoga and team building exercises. Vinnie lives life with presence, always living in the now, he shares this goal with his crew. Vinnie understands the present is all we truly have, so slow down and feel, he says. Looking inward vs. outward is a philosophy he shares on a constant basis as it’s all too often we seek something outside ourselves when the answer lies within. Sharing these values and others such as the Rotary 4 Way Test, or being extraordinary in everything you say and do. Vinnie’s company is full of passionate, dedicated and happy people. Vinnie says it’s quite amazing that when he leaves for a trip and returns there are always multiple 5 star reviews sharing how his staff went above and beyond to satisfy and embrace our clients. As a business owner there is nothing more to ask for other then taking care of themselves 1st and foremost. He shows up with nothing but love and light and is always willing to lend a helping hand.
