Agosto was born in Chicago, but he moved to Detroit in 1998 to skate with Belbin. They missed out on competing at the 2002 Winter Games, despite finishing second at the 2002 U.S. Championships, because of Belbin's unfinished citizenship process. They organized and skated in the 2005 Skate Aid for Tsunami Relief that raised $40,000 for tsunami relief in Southeast Asia. Agosto's hobbies include playing the guitar, scuba diving, horseback riding, salsa dancing and rock and mountain climbing.

- Agosto has always wanted to be the voice of a cartoon character and got a gig as the voice of a villain in a video game
