The family, which included siblings Denise and Richard, resided in Newark and Irvington New Jersey in their early years and then settled in West Caldwell, New Jersey.

His career in the IT business began out of college with Unisys Corporation and then went on to hold executive sales and leadership positions with industry notables AT&T, EMC, Wayside Technology and EqualLogic Corporation, where as its Eastern US Vice President contributed in growing the ventured backed company’s sales to $125 million, positioning Equal Logic for its S1 filing to become a public company.

For the past two years, Mastrangelo was elected as Director of the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders by his six Freeholder colleagues.
Under Mastrangelo’s direction and leadership, county property taxes and spending have been reduced and in 2014 implemented a 5 year $ 64 million debt reduction plan, while at the same time, maintaining the good quality of life in Morris County to live, work and raise a family.

Mastrangelo has always regarded his public service as one of his most significant activities as a way of giving back to the community by keeping his promises to provide true tax relief and ongoing quality of life for his fellow citizens of Morris County and the great State of New Jersey.
