Triplets, including sisters, Elena Jo and Jolena Marie. Children of Joseph and Sonia (D'Amico) Gioiello. Mario attended Niles McKinley High School and participated in many sports and clubs including cross country, track, ski club, and prep bowl. He graduated in 2019 as one of six valedictorians.

He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Aeronautics. After graduating college, he worked for Avit Aviation at the Akron-Canton and Wadsworth airports.
