The founder, Dino Rachiele, formed this company in 1999. He was a professional kitchen designer for over 20 years and was frustrated with the lack of ergonomic design offered by sink manufacturers. He was also amazed at the fact that all sink manufacturers still place drains in the center of sinks. A center drain dates back to ancient Egyptian times, when the tooling only allowed for a vessel to drain properly if the drain was in the center of the bowl. Rear corner drains just make sense - and we are the only manufacturers that seem to realize that fact. We believe in the work ethic of the U.S. worker. There are other countries producing somewhat similar looking products, but they have not been able to come close to matching our American craftsmanship and ergonomic design.

I do have to mention that music is my passion, and just a few years ago I
was able to do something I had dreamed of for years. I put a rock and roll
band together and we played out professionally for a couple of years. The
dream was complete when we were invited to the very exclusive Full Sail
University's Recording Studio for an audio and video recording of our band.
The Full Sail recording is by invitation only. Full Sail is a very
exclusive school where graduates have worked with Beyonce, Mariah Carey,
Justin Timberlake, Gloria Estefan, Usher, Rihanna and more. Here is a still
shot of that event three years ago. (I am the one with the beard on the far
right) For those of you who still rock, yes that is a Les Paul, and oh yes,
Marshall amps.

Hello Friends, this is Dino speaking.
Another passion of mine is music. I am a musician. I inherited great genes! My father was a concert pianist from the age of 4. He had a radio show in Pittsburgh, played for the president of the United States and still plays - but not as often as we would all like. I happen to have recently formed a rock and roll band. We try to get together once a week. There are seven of us. Once we get a bit better, I will post a video.
I have several passions in my life, one of them is cooking. Cooking
seems to be a Rachiele/Tucci thing. My mother is a Tucci. I think my
passion regarding ergonomic sinks stems from my love of cooking. Most of
the sinks on the market are totally frustrating to work in if you really
love to cook.
Speaking of passion, our family cannot seem to have a Christmas
gathering without Timpano on the table. Some of you may know that my
Aunt. Joan Tucci, wrote a best selling Italian cookbook called "Cucina &
Famiglia. The book was inspired by a movie my cousin, Stanley Tucci,
wrote and stared in called "Big Night". The main dish in the movie is
called Timpano. I found a video by Molto Mario that illustrates how
Timpano is made. Enjoy"
In case you are wondering who my cousin is, here he is being interviewed
on the Daily Show. He recently starred in Julie and Julia with Meryl
Streep.
