DiVitto is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. At age 13, he moved to Longboat Key, Florida where he quickly developed a fascination for sharks and other sea creatures. One day while combing the beach for shells, he found an 18-inch hammerhead shark. He wanted to have the deceased fish stuffed, but the cost was too expensive. Not wanting to throw the shark away, he wrapped it in aluminum foil and placed it in the kitchen freezer, where his mom discovered it later. Somehow she was not too surprised.

DiVitto has a Master's degree in both Library Science and Media Specialist from the University of South Florida and is a graduate from Florida International University with a degree in Advertising. DiVitto currently works as a reference librarian with Broward County. He is also a certified diver and resides in Hollywood, Florida.
