spiritual advisor and mentor to professional skateboarder Mark "Gator" Rogowski during Rogowski's transition into born-again Christianity in the late 1980s.
- Spiritual Guidance: Costantino, an ex-surfer turned "skateboard minister," befriended Rogowski after the skater suffered a severe injury in Germany. He influenced Rogowski to adopt a strict form of Evangelical Christianity, which led the skater to preach to peers and use religious imagery on his skateboards.
- The Murder Confession: Following the 1991 rape and murder of Jessica Bergsten, Rogowski eventually confessed the crime to Costantino.
- Surrender: It was Costantino who ultimately convinced Rogowski to turn himself in to the police to face the consequences of his actions.
