Born and raised in Italy, Bernardo Luciano worked on his family’s farm while attending school, always dreaming of a better life. In 1970, at just 15, he made the bold decision to leave everything behind and move to the U.S.—determined to achieve the American Dream.
Starting in landscaping, he quickly became fascinated by the irrigation side of the business—realizing it was the systems beneath the surface that truly made everything thrive.
