Reg Pinto was born in Rome, Italy.  He moved to Perth, Western Australia in 1976, at the age of 13 with his family.  Reg began his career as a ceramic tile installer under the guidance of his father, Bruno Pinto in 1978.  Some time later he was attracted to natural stone because of its unique elegance and unmatchable beauty.  Ten years later in 1988, he branched off into the stone masonry trade.

Over the years he has worked in some of the most upscale homes in Perth, as well as prestigious commercial building throughout the city.

He has worked for renowned stone companies and earned his reputation as arguably one of the most qualified stone masons in Western Australia.  However, he also realized that in as much as natural stone is beautiful and highly sought, its natural chemical makeup requires special care and maintenance.  The inquiries coming in from his customers about the maintenance requirements of the stone he's been installing in their dwellings became too numerous to be ignored.  Reg felt the need to complete his professional image by extending his offering of services into the maintenance part of the trade.

His quest for specific in-depth knowledge led him to begin searching publications about natural stone classifications and their chemical makeup.  His search took him over the borders of Australia, all the way to New Jersey, USA, where he met Mr Maurizio Bertoli, one of the foremost internationally recognised stone experts.  Mr Bertoli is founder and techinical director of MB Stone Restoration & Supply, Inc.

Reg currently owns and manages a successful restoration company, The Stone Doctor Pty Ltd.  Over the years he has dedicated himself in research and private studies to extend his education in earth science (petrography and chemistry applied to minerals).
