DePiano and his wife, Alicia, started Sober Guys Inc. in March of 2012. The concept is getting people and their automobiles to their homes safely. Two Sober Guys employees use a company car to get wherever a client is, and one employee drives the client to their home in their automobile. The cost of service is $35 for any location in Fresno. The company also offers a Town Car service, similar to a taxi service but classier.
Sober Guys started out with 15 employees and 5 cars, and it has grown to employ 43 with 16 cars. The company has partnered with the Fresno Police Chief’s Foundation, raising money for the group. DePiano plans on further expanding all of his businesses, with Sober Guys maybe having a presence in the Bay Area. DePiano is a multi-sport fan, enjoying football, basketball and baseball.
