Gianni "GQ" Del Vecchio
As Chief Financial Officer

Gianni "GQ" Del Vecchio, or "GQ Gianni" is the "brain behind the numbers" for Red Rope Reviews. As Chief Financial Officer, Gianni joined Red Rope Reviews in March, 2007, and assisted greatly in all of the financial aspects for RRR.

Gianni graduated from the prestigious University of California, San Diego, in 2007 with a 3.6 GPA and BA in Economics, with a double minor in Political Science and Marketing in 2007. In High School, Gianni graduated in the top 1% of his class from Northwood High School in 2003.

Gianni entered the nightlife scene through SFiNX Productions in late 2005, where he learned a great deal about the nightclub industry, nightlife, and marketing. He served as Director of Internet Marketing until November 2007. Gianni also worked as a Sales Representative for Skinnie Entertainment Magazine, Marketing Director for UCSD Campus for both Rockstar and Monster Energy Drinks, and held the coveted Head Rep position for SWAT (Summer Winter Action Tours) for 2 years at UCSD, greatly increasing the success of SWAT Spring Break and Winter Break trips.

Gianni also interned at Smith Barney under the First Vice President of the Downtown La Jolla Branch. He met Matt, Ari, & Jason through the industry, and together combined forces to form Red Rope Reviews. He Met Scott through several similar marketing internships that Scott held at SDSU. Scott and Gianni were the "go-to" guys for many marketing job opportunities at their respective schools because of their enormous presence on campus.

The combination of Marketing and Economic/Finance experience that Gianni holds is a very important fusion with the new nightlife, marketing, and industry demands. As such, Gianni has been a great overall addition to the Red Rope Reviews team.

Gianni now pursues Red Rope Reviews full time.

You’re just as likely to find me at a psychobilly show as you are to bump into me at a swanky club with a big-name DJ. I am the most monogamous flirt you’ll ever meet. I love my friends more than life itself but detest most of the general populace. I can write for any readership but haven’t read a book in years. I’m just as liable to be sitting at home on a Friday night watching Fight Club or Shawshank Redemption on the couch with my dog as I am to be stumbling down the street, cigarette to my lips, walking to my house as the sun rises. I love film but rarely watch movies.
