Almery Maria Victoria Tessarolo was born in Rosario, Argentina to Miguel and Claudia Driussi Milewska. Almy has one younger sibling, Nina Tessarolo.
From a young age, Almy showed interest performing in ballet and the opera. She was a Rosario regional medal for young entrepreneur of the year before graduating high school.
After completing primary school in Rosario, Almy received her bachelor’s degree in Political Science and International Relations from Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. After graduation, Almy pursued her passion. Almy worked tirelessly towards the peace and reconciliation process between the Protestant and Catholic populations in Northern Ireland. In doing so, she worked directly with her mentor, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, Martin McGuinness.
After achieving her life’s goal, Almy returned to Argentina and enrolled into the Universidad Abierta Interamericana (UAI). At UAI, Almy earned two additional degrees in Political Science and International Relations and as a result for her efforts in the field of Political Science she was awarded a gold medal for having the highest graduate GPA in the COUNTRY. Soon thereafter, Almy earned her master’s degree in International Policy from UAI. To this point, Almy had armed herself with the knowledge, the political connections, and the political savvy to take over the world. But instead of taking over the world, Almy followed her heart to Sydney, Australia where she continued her human rights efforts by working for Amnesty International.
After a year at Amnesty International, Almy returned to Dublin, Ireland where she worked as a public and private fundraiser for UNICEF Ireland. After three wonderful years at UNICEF, Almy decided to return home to Argentina to embark on her entrepreneurial career. Almy initiated her business as a consultant for large corporations along with her mother Claudia, who has extensive knowledge and experience in the field. While doing so, Almy received a contract with a hotel group in Thailand where she would work as an external consultant to improve the hotel as well as its workers. During that year, Almy realized the opportunities that the hospitality industry offered to those willing to put in the hard work.
After finishing her year in Thailand, Almy decided to make her final move. She would use all the money she saved throughout her career and apply for a business visa in the United States to purchase a failing Italian restaurant in Tampa, Florida and make it a success. She did just that. When Almy moved to America the last thing on her mind was love. Then on one rainy, December night, Zach walked into her restaurant and into her life. Although she did not know it yet, her life was about to change forever.
Zachary Phillip Morrison was born in Bloomington, Illinois to Phil and Jill Morrison. He has one older sister (Britany Morrison) and one younger sister (Ally Hingtgen). Zach spent much
of his upbringing in LeRoy, Illinois; and from the time he could walk and talk he was too busy to be bothered. He kept himself busy playing football, baseball, basketball, playing the drums, or running track. He is also an avid outdoorsman and enjoys hunting.
By the time he graduated high school he received a scholarship from Illinois Wesleyan University (IWU) to run track and field.
While at IWU, Zach went on to have a successful track and field career earning the all- conference title 3 times and the all-American title once. At IWU he gained an interest in psychology. Zach focused his studies on the mind with regards to behavioral learning,
perception & cognition, and most interestingly, serial killers.
After graduating with a degree in psychology, Zach went to work at a law firm for one year. There he developed an interest for the law. He took the law school entrance exam (the LSAT) and did well enough to send himself to sunny Florida.
He attended Stetson University College of Law in St. Petersburg Florida where he would later become a member of Stetson’s #1 Nationally Ranked Trial Team. Throughout law school, Zach clerked with multiple judges, worked at a criminal defense firm, and worked at Stetson’s Law Library – all the while competing for the trial team. It was during this period that Zach would learn all the necessary skills to become an effective advocate. In those three years, Zach would go on to compete in two national competitions and go on to win the highest-grade award (Book award) in his research & writing class.
After completing law school, Zach passed the Florida Bar Exam and was sworn in a Florida Court as a practicing Florida attorney. From there, he took a three-year position as an Assistant State Attorney in Pinellas County Florida. In his first year, he prosecuted misdemeanors. However, after just one year, Zach was promoted to a felony division. The fastest promotion in the office’s history. The very next week, COVID took the world by storm,
and Zach had advocated his last trials as a prosecutor.
Zach finished out his 3-year contract as an Assistant State Attorney and then took a job in the civil sector working as a Medical Malpractice Litigator for Cole, Scott & Kissane. Though after a short while, Zach left Cole, Scott & Kissane, and the legal profession as a whole, to run Don Rigatoni with Almy.
