Grace M.R. Agrusa was born in New York City. She shares a strong connection with Sicily, which was formed first through her genes, and later her travels between the United States and Sicily. Her family owned a chain of Sports Bars, and Grace grew up learning the art of running a restaurant. But her next stop would keep her for 25 years in the casino industry as a Table Games Supervisor. Grace has three daughters, four grandchildren, and amazing stories to tell.
