About our guest:
Michael Del Pellaro
Franchisee
Michael Del Pellaro is the owner and General Manager of CertaPro Painters in Vancouver. He first started painting professionally in 1991 as a summer job to pay for university. Upon graduation from business school, Michael went to work for Corporate Canada in marketing and general management. He soon realized that he missed the painting industry and what it entails: meeting new people, listening to their needs, making recommendations, and collaborating with them on what was best for their project. Michael also missed making promises to earn their business and building a team to deliver on those promises to make them happy. This is what continues to motivate Michael.
