My name's Giovanni Petruzziello, and I'm a 27 year old entrepreneur based in Connecticut.
Below you can find some of my past and present passion projects.

Earlier Projects
Years in Operation
At just 16, Gio customized the headlights on his first truck with color-changing halos. He posted the results to social media and immediately recognized that others wanted the same. He started offering the service, building a loyal customer base and a reputation for quality. What started in a small shed quickly grew into a thriving retrofitting operation. By age 19, the business had grown to $1M/Year in sales. Legends Offroad was closed at the launch of LGND SUPPLY CO in February 2019.
Years in Operation
Gio built The LAB as the realization of a lifelong vision: a large-scale, destination automotive facility known for high-end builds, standout events, and a culture that attracted enthusiasts from across the country. The shop produced nationally recognized projects and hosted some of the region’s largest automotive gatherings. While its scale ultimately exceeded the market demand of its location, Gio made the strategic decision to close The LAB in 2026; not as a loss, but as the completion of a dream and a foundation for his next ventures.

Established
Founded as an extension of the Legends Auto ecosystem, Legends Auto Parts was built to serve enthusiasts with a trusted, centralized online destination for quality parts across all vehicle types. As the business evolves, Gio is transitioning ownership internally, allowing the brand to continue expanding while he focuses on future ventures.
