Vincent Paragano

I am the New Jersey Division Chairman.

I operate my own law practice and real estate development company, employing over 25 people.

I played lightweight football and baseball through college [and beyond] and have coached sports for the past 31+ years.

I started fencing after seeing my son fence. Coming to this sport later in life, I treat every competition like a new-found gift. I am a nationally ranked Veteran-50 Saber Fencer and won 2 medals at the 2007 Summer Nationals.

My Gov.Livingston High School fencing program [where I am Head Coach] is one of the best in New Jersey. My GL students are my pride and joy. Over the years as a Division volunteer, I have devoted hundreds of hours in service to the Division.

My business, coaching and athletic experiences and my absolute love for fencing serve as great reference points for my decisions.
