Since joining Trinity in 2022, Dominic Furlano has employed his dual background in architecture and construction to help designers and field-trades teams work confidently together to deliver beautifully crafted homes.
Dominic grew up in the rural area south of Buffalo, NY, where he worked with his family framing homes, driving semi trucks, and running heavy machinery—all while idolizing his master-welder grandfather. He attributes his first interest in art and architecture to his grandmother, who explained what an architect does when he was just 8 years old. From that moment on, he knew he wanted to become both a master builder and architect.

When not at work, Mike enjoys spending time with his wife, Brittany, and his two children.
