My name is John Rizzo. I am 26 years old. Vineland wrestling has been a huge part of my life since the start of my wrestling career at the age of 4 (20 years now). At the end of my high-school career in 2015, I became a Police Officer for the city of Vineland and have been employed by the Vineland Police Department since 2016. I stepped in with Tim Delouise in 2017 helping him build this program back up and I have coached high school wrestling alongside Pete Adams, Dave Homiak, and Jake Homiak. A famous Pete Adams quote I like to live by is “if you only do enough to get by, you’ll never have enough to get it done”. In 2018, I took some time off as a coach for the mini program to be more available to my family during a move and the birth of our child. In that time I have watched Tim successfully take this program in a direction I have never seen before. I am beyond thankful for what he has done and to be back helping and coaching once more.
