"When you have a goal
You must let nothing stand in your way of achieving it
You must pay any price for success
Because an honorable failure is of no use to anyone "
Jim Ferras
Past Personal Achievements
My Father had the vision and foresight to imigrate to this wonderful country in 1970 with only $95 in his pocket.
The first 10 years in N.J. were very tough while working and going to school. I was lucky to get a soccer scholorship from Rutgers U. and was drafted by NY Cosmos (professional soccer team) in 79 to play on 2nd team.

"The joy in life is the journey, the payoff reward is just a trophy
on the mantel". Jim Ferras
