Vinci was a crewman in the security contingent and on occasion the transporter chief aboard the USS Enterprise in the 2260s from 2266 to 2269.

In 2266 on stardate 1330.1, Vinci and another security officer were ordered by Captain James T. Kirk to guard Eve McHuron, Ruth Bonaventure, and Magda Kovacs against Harry Mudd trying to help them escape from the Enterprise with Mudd. Although Vinci and the other security officer were successful in carrying out that order, Vinci and the other security officer did fall under the 'spell' cast by Eve, Ruth and Magda when they were on the Venus drug which was so unlike the usual reliable Vinci to let happen to him. A short time later, Vinci was part of the security detail at the hearing Kirk called with the Enterprise senior staff and Harry Mudd and his "cargo" of Eve McHuron, Ruth Bonaventure, and Magda Kovacs and where to take them. (TOS: "Mudd's Women")

On stardate 1513.8, Vinci was stationed, as security, in sickbay after the M-113 creature knocked Spock unconscious and then killed Doctor Robert Crater as it was masquerading as Dr. Leonard McCoy. Vinci tried to keep Yeoman Janice Rand from seeing Dr. Crater's body, but Rand looked at it in horror anyway. (TOS: "The Man Trap")

On stardate 1535.8, Kirk ordered security detail to the gymnasium, Vinci and an another man responded. Charles Evans used his telekenetic powers to knock the security officers to the floor. Vinci drew his phaser, and Charlie made it disappear – along with every other phaser on the ship. (TOS: "Charlie X")

In 2267 on stardate 3196, Vinci served on a security team ordered by Lieutenant Commander Giotto to hunt for the Horta, on Janus VI. (TOS: "The Devil in the Dark")

In 2268 on stardate 5029.5, Vinci served as the transporter chief when the Enterprise visited Triacus. He inadvertently beamed two redshirts unintact molecules into space and to their deaths before it was discovered that the ship had left orbit and was on course for Marcos XII. (TOS: "And the Children Shall Lead")

Later that same year, he helped Montgomery Scott getting into a Jefferies tube when the Enterprise matter-antimatter integrator was fused. (TOS: "That Which Survives")
