About Us

The idea of Breaking Barriers came to exist in late 2013 between two friends, Benjamin Sarcadi and Melissa Spicuzza. When discussing the direction they saw their lives going, the idea of Breaking Barriers bloomed. With Benjamin’s tenacity and Melissa’s passion and long-term experience in the field, they turned Breaking Barriers into a reality.

Breaking Barriers is a 501 (c) (3)
nonprofit corporation.

Our office is currently servicing the Culver City Area in Los Angeles
