Born By the Sea
I am Calvin Wright Giuseppe, born January 19, 1956, in Genoa, in the northwest of Italy. It is a port city carved into hillsides where ships, salt air, and centuries of craftsmanship shaped daily life. My father was Italian, my mother Swedish; I was raised between two strong cultures, with discipline, responsibility, and respect for hard work in equal measure. My earliest lessons were not spoken; they were watched in how my elders fixed what was broken, kept their word, and treated tools with the same care as people.
