About the Founder

​

Veteran-Owned. Mission-Driven. Built to Conquer — Together.

​

VINCO Group, LLC is a disabled American combat veteran-owned business, founded by Richard M. Castro, a decorated U.S. Army combat veteran with more than two decades of leadership experience in military operations, construction, logistics, business consulting, and workforce training.

The name VINCO comes from Latin, meaning "to conquer, to defeat, to excel." At VINCO Group, those words are more than a motto—they're a way of doing business. Every job is approached with discipline, focus, and accountability, because we believe that when your name is on something, it should reflect your very best. And at VINCO Group, that standard applies to every employee, every client relationship, and every finished result.

But this isn’t just VINCO—it’s VINCO Group for a reason. Our company is built around people, not just process. We are a team of professionals united by shared values, shaped through real mentorship, and trained to lead with integrity. Richard personally instills in every team member the principles he lived by in uniform: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. Those U.S. Army values are not just slogans here—they're ingrained in how we show up, how we serve, and how we execute every job, no matter the size.

Richard's leadership isn't from behind a desk. He's worked in kitchens, on job sites, behind the wheel, and in some of the most high-stakes environments on earth. He’s trained foreign militaries, managed multi-million-dollar assets, led combat logistics, and rebuilt underperforming businesses. Now, he leads VINCO Group with the same commitment to detail, accountability, and excellence.

At VINCO Group, LLC, we don’t just take on projects—we take ownership. We conquer challenges. We defeat inefficiencies. We excel in performance. And we do it together—with pride, with purpose, and with your goals at the center of everything we do.
