MEMBER FOCUS: Vincent Mascia⁠

VINNIE IS: an orthodontist turned college professor, World Cup team dentist, film company president, ADA Congressional Fellow, and CEO consultant. His resume reads like a guidebook for how to be open to new opportunities, and his many life experiences reveal his adventurous spirit.⁠
⁠
HE VALUES: relationships, perhaps the result of growing up in a very large, very close Italian family. For him, whether professionally or personally, who you’re doing something with is just as important as what you’re doing.⁠
⁠
HE INCORPORATES: his dental, legislative, and business experience as he develops a line of biodegradable dental products. He’s partnered with a university to complete R&D & develop a patent for a family of green dental solutions.⁠
⁠
HE LIVES: in the moment and on purpose. “You have to listen to your inner voice and decide what success looks like for you,” he says. He does what he sets his mind to. Just ask him about the time he packed a rented 18-wheeler with furniture from his dorm on UVA’s grounds and drove it into the mountains to throw a raucous party.
