Meet the faces behind Team Viperizer!

Ryan Venezie, our owner, is the reason we're all here!  With overseeing orders made all over the globe, Ryan is a pretty busy guy.  While you may not interact with him directly, Ryan is always behind the scenes, working to make Viperizer Racing a success. 

Ryan was born and raised in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania.  In 2003, he attained a Business Management degree from University of Pittsburgh.  In more recent years, he has been running and operating Viperizer Racing out of his hometown since 2014. 

Ryan currently resides in the area with his wife, Amanda (our Accountant), and their three sons.  In his spare time, he coaches baseball and football for the 9 to 11-year-old age group.  When he's not working or coaching, he enjoys "TV, lots of TV."

One of Ryan's favorite memories since owning Viperizer Racing was his first trip to Bristol, Tennessee for the Eastern Conference Finals.  He particularly enjoyed experiencing all of the sights, sounds and people for the first time.

VIPERIZER STAFF SPOTLIGHT

Meet the faces behind Team Viperizer!

Without our accountant, Amanda Venezie, faithfully crunching numbers behind the scenes, Viperizer Racing simply would not be!  Amanda's duties range from creating budgets to calculating expenses, and everything in between!  While you may not interact with Amanda directly, her role with Viperizer Racing is very critical.

Amanda was born and raised in Ellwood City.  She graduated from Lincoln High School in 2002 and attained her bachelor's degree in Marketing & Human Resources from IUP in 2006.  

Amanda currently resides in the area with her husband, Ryan (the owner of Viperizer Racing), and their three sons.  In her spare time, she enjoys running, hanging out with family, and watching her boys play football.  

Amanda has been a part of Team Viperizer since the beginning of our ownership, which came about in 2014.  Of all the enjoyable aspects of working for Viperizer Racing, she most appreciates meeting new racers.  She also particularly enjoyed experiencing Bristol for the first time, noting that hearing the start of the engines each morning was like an alarm clock!

Please join us in showing Amanda appreciation for all she does behind the scenes at Viperizer Racing!
