Louie Stravato
Amazing Race
Louie D. Stravato, 54 years old, born in Providence RI. Two boys, Louis P. (33) and Anthony (25), along with an Amazing grandson Zachary (10).
I was a Providence (RI) police officer for 26 years. I was a narcotics investigator for 18 years, five of those years I worked with DEA as a Task Force Agent. I've done numerous speaking engagements about narcotics and how a narcotic investigator operates.
In 2009 I was asked to be on the Emmy Award winning reality show The Amazing Race. At this time I chose a fellow narcotic investigator, Michael Naylor. We couldn't make one mistake trying out for the show. We were chosen to be on Season 16 of The Amazing Race. Mike and I started out slow but came alive in Germany winning three (3) straight legs of the Race, in a row, winning the large prizes. One of the legs of the Race, in France, we hold The Amazing Race record for completing the leg of the Race in record time. The mat and Phil (the host) weren't even there yet....After a bad taxi ride in Shanghai China we finished the Race in a respectful fourth place.
Upon doing the Amazing Race I've assisted in numerous charity events throughout the country. Also I returned to being a police officer and retired in May of 2013. After shortly working with the Lottery I presently own fitness program as Louie's Fitness Academy and my own Private Investigation company, Pinnacle Security Consulting and Investigations.
Though I've had an Amazing career I've dealt with the struggles of my younger son who has mental health issues, which have lead him to drug abuse and a criminal record. Like most people with mental health issues, the court system's answer to resolving the issue is jail time, mainly because there are limited facilities available. If there was a facility available he would have gotten the proper help. This is unfortunately so common throughout this country. So hopefully working with Warriors Of Purpose, I can help.
