Born and Raised in a small town, Chardon, OH. My love for technology started young, building my first computer at 12. My entrepreneurialism also started early in high school when I began refurbishing friends’ iPods and working with the Football team selling highlight tapes. In 2014, I graduated from Chardon High School and Auburn Career Center with various certifications. I started my career in corporate environments, such as Progressive Insurance, in addition to private consulting firms.

Jeff Bodziony
Owner of Provision Smart Security, Partner of Mazzola Tech
Skills & Role:Jeff has worked in the technology and security industry for the past 15 years, specializing in Smart Security and Surveillance. Having served as lead in over 1500 projects throughout the Midwest United States, Jeff has seen every scenario that can possibly arise from both large scale commercial and smaller scale residential projects.
Jeff and his lovely wife Lauren moved to Cleveland in 2007 with one goal: to put themselves in a position to serve people in whatever way they could. Their family of 7 came into Cleveland's Slavic Village neighborhood in the same year that CNN deemed it as one of the worst neighborhoods in America and "the epicenter of the foreclosure crisis in America. With the help of local and national volunteers, they started The Forward Life Center in Slavic Village, focusing on people stuck in the cycle of poverty, and casting a vision for them of a way out through a "Forward Life Plan." The Program takes an in-depth look at the "5 Domains" and an individual's life: Health, Relationships, Finances, Personal Development, and Spirituality. Following this assessment, they help each form a tangible plan for moving "Forward," providing assistance and resources through their vast network of partners to help people move along in their Forward Life Objectives. As of 2022, they have seen 327 lives radically impacted positively through the Forward movement. Because of the community's financial status, Jeff and Lauren started ProVision Smart Security as a funding engine for their outreach to Slavic Village. They say, "When God has vision, He always makes ProVision; their business name is derived from this belief.

Anthony Zrinyi
Financial Advisor
Skills & Role: Company 401(k), Traditional, Simple, and Roth IRA, Brokerage, Advisory, Insurance.
As a former athlete I learned some valuable lessons. Team work and putting others first, perseverance through hard times, and a relentless belief in working toward your goals. My passion and why in life is to bring those attributes into the lives of my clients to help them achieve the goals they didn't think were possible.
My team and I run a national practice working with physicians, business owners, partners and executives. We help people understand that money and wealth is built around habits, consistency, and understanding what IS possible. This allows them to know they are ok during the challenging times we face today and being certain they are well positioned for the future.
It takes a village and we are here to help!
We’ve been working with Mike at Mazzola Tech for a few years now. Initially we helped Mike and the business understand the impact of taxes, risk mitigation, and helping attract, retain, and reward employees. This has also led us to help Mike and the individuals on his team with their personal financial planning needs as well. If you’re open to a second opinion, we’re here to help!
