Vincenzo grew up in Middletown New York where he played soccer, basketball, and baseball. He was recruited to play baseball at Mount Saint Mary College where he was named captain and led the Knights to two playoff appearances during his time there.

Upon graduation Vincenzo attended Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville where he received a Master’s degree in Sport Psychology. During his time in Illinois, Vincenzo was introduced to faith-based coaching with a nationally ranked club baseball team. “That experience is when I realized I wanted to be a positive role model and mentor to younger athletes” says Pepe.

After moving back to New York, Vincenzo worked as a baseball coach and tournament director where he was able to be hands on in the development of athletes and teams. “Once I heard about FCA and saw the things they were doing, I knew God was calling me into this ministry. FCA is doing some amazing things in other areas of the country and regions of the state, and I am looking to bring that to the Hudson Valley as an Area Director.” Vincenzo is passionate about leading coaches to be excellent role models on and off the field, as well as leading them on their journey to spiritual maturity with Christ so they can bring that to their teams and athletes.

Vincenzo lives in New Windsor NY with his Wife Michelle. They enjoy making homemade pizza, skiing, and getting outside and fishing whenever they get the chance.
