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 was the driving force that made me want 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 how God was moving 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 light to the Hudson Valley as a Multi-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.

“I am extremely excited to see sports utilized as a vehicle to change lives in a tremendous way, and be part of coaches and athletes giving their lives to Jesus Christ.”

Vincenzo lives in Wallkill with his wife, Michelle, and their daughter. They enjoy making homemade pizza, skiing, and getting outside and fishing whenever they get the chance.

2024 was a year that God SHOULDN'T have picked me for His Ministry. After attending Bootcamp in September, there was no escaping His calling on my life (& I tried multiple times)! Westchester County, NY, where I was raised, is the uncharted territory where He’s positioned me to reap His Harvest!

The Bible verse(s) that the Holy Spirit during this journey & I have been standing on is Philippians 4:11-12, “Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.”
