Marc Bartolomeo

Marc “Sparky” Bartolomeo is an electrician by trade and has been in the field for a little over 15 years.

He was born in Brooklyn, New York. He has three siblings, one brother and two sisters. He grew up working on cars in his father's garage in Coney Island, New York. He had a strong fascination for tools and how mechanical things worked. He was always surrounded by tools in his dad's garage. He is a "hands-on" type of person and truly loves being a blue-collar worker.

He went to a vocational/technical high school and when he graduated he began working. When his family moved to Las Vegas he moved with them. Two years after they moved Marc returned to New York to attend St. John's University as a business/psychology major. A former girlfriend in 1994 went behind his back and entered him into a guy's underwear contest. He did not win but he met his future agents who got him started on his side career as a model.

Marc modeled for about six years before he "retired" and started to do electrician work full time again. About four years later he was pulled back into the show biz world by NorthSouth Productions to do TLC's "In a Fix" (2004).

Some of his favorite hobbies are DJing, cooking/baking, racquetball, traveling, spending oodles of time at garage and yard sales, and collecting antiques.
