DeMaio was born in 1974 in Dubuque, Iowa to a pair of teachers, Carl Joseph DeMaio and Diane M. DeMaio (née Elgin). His family moved to Orange County, California in the late 1970s. He attended St. Catherine's Military Academy, a Catholic school in Anaheim, through eighth grade; in 1989 he got a scholarship to Georgetown Preparatory School in Maryland. His mother died in 1990; his father is estranged. He graduated from Georgetown Prep in 1993, then attended Georgetown University, where he received a degree in International Politics and Business.
While attending college, DeMaio worked as a political intern in Washington, D. C., then worked for the Congressional Institute, serving as the Institute's Director of Planning. He worked in Washington from 1994 to 1999. After college, he established The Performance Institute, a for-profit think tank that provided training for government officials, followed by the American Strategic Management Institute, which provided financial and management training to corporations. He sold both companies to the Thompson Publishing Group in late 2007.
