Mike Vinci

Founder & President

In 2012, when he was 19 years old, Mike’s father passed away after a long struggle with cancer and left him the family business, Guilio Vinci Contractors. His father’s legacy was one of excellence in his craft and unmovable faith. In his last years on earth, he not only taught Mike the skills of carpentry and building, but also the importance of doing for others. Out of these core beliefs, the dream and mission of 127 Project was born. Mike works both on and off site on each project the team takes on to ensure that those who need help are getting it.

Meg studied at Kean University, and has worked in the design field for 3 ½ years. She has assisted on projects both local and international, including renovating St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, NJ, and designing luxury apartments in Russia for Ralph Lauren.
