LCF Announces Recipient of 2023 Youth Leadership Collier Distinguished Alumni of the Year Award

The Leadership Collier Foundation (LCF) of the Greater Naples Chamber, announced the recipient of the 2023 YLC Distinguished Alumni of the Year Award, Peter Falisi, graduate of Youth Leadership Collier Class of 2008. This award honors an individual who embodies the mission of YLC with exemplified leadership through community involvement and professional achievements.

Falisi is a graduate of Youth Leadership Collier Class of 2008 and Associate Leadership Collier Class of 2019. He is currently a member of the Leadership Collier Class of 2024 and believes in the mission and impact of the Leadership Collier Foundation to activate the potential of leaders in building a stronger Collier County.

Falisi co-founded Two Guys Catering in 2015 with his brother Larry Falisi. He is the Owner/Director of Sales & Marketing of Two Guys Hospitality Group where his main role in the company is business development, client relationships, marketing, and sales.

Falisi was born and raised in New York until 2005 when he and his family made the move to Naples, Florida. He attended Palmetto Ridge High School and graduated as valedictorian of his class in 2009. Falisi furthered his academic career by attending the University of Florida where he received a bachelor’s degree in economics. After graduating, Falisi started to pursue a career in finance with Merrill Lynch and it was at the office where he realized the opportunity for Two Guys Catering.

Over the years, Two Guys Catering has grown from just a catering company specializing in corporate events weddings and private dinner parties. In December of 2018 Falisi and his family started a new division of catering called Skyline by Two Guys, focusing on providing in-fight catering for private jets in Southwest Florida. In December of 2020 Falisi and his family opened a full-service restaurant in Naples called The Hangout by Two Guys.
