East Region - NFF Bill Denny/Rutgers Football Letterwinners (NJ) Chapter
 
Current NFF Bill Denny/Rutgers Football Letterwinners Chapter president Fred Roselli didn't grow up playing organized football. However, that has not stopped him from making an impact within the game's youth during the last 24 years.
 
Roselli wasn't able to experience organized football growing up due to his small size and weight, but he did get to play sandlot football in the 1950s and 1960s. He attended Seton Hall University and graduated in 1973 with a bachelor's degree in political science. Roselli then obtained a juris doctorate law degree from New York Law School in 1976.
 
Roselli currently serves as a senior partner at his family's law firm, Roselli & Roselli, ESQ, which he founded 39 years ago after working for a local law firm for six years. It is a general law practice with Roselli specializing in family law, real estate and municipal law.
 
Roselli has been heavily involved in youth football over the last 24 years, consistently calling high school football and basketball games for South River High School on TV35 local cable television. Additionally, Roselli served as a member on the Central New Jersey Pop Warner Executive Board for five years and coached South River Pop Warner football for 10 years.
 
Over the course of the last 24 years, Roselli has also held various positions within the NFF Bill Denny/Rutgers Football Letterwinners Chapter. Initially, Roselli served on the executive board prior to serving as vice president and then president of the chapter. As the president, Roselli and other members sought to expand the chapter to include an affiliation with Rutgers Football Letterwinners, the birthplace of college football.
 
"In today's society, recognizing and honoring all the good in high school scholar-athletes is a side of sports that does not get enough recognition and publicity," said Roselli. "It is only through organizations such as the National Football Foundation that this becomes a national reality and exposes all the good in today's youth. Being a part of that is one of the most rewarding and gratifying feelings to experience."
 
Roselli and with his wife of 45 years, Peggy, live in South River, New Jersey, and have three children and four grandchildren. Roselli's hobbies include sports photography and playing golf, and he enjoys music, watching sports and spending time with his family.
