Manny was born in Naples, Florida, but raised
in Miami, Florida. He began directing a six-team men’s league as a hobby
and a way to cope with a family tragedy after his only brother, PFC
Marius L. Ferrero, who was KIA in Iraq in November of 2007 in Operation
Iraqi Freedom. After his brother’s passing, Manny founded a non-profit
organization in honor of his brother, “Mario’s Soldiers.” In January of
2012, he started ISPS in Florida. As of early 2014, ISPS is hosting
leagues and/or tournaments in Florida, Alabama, Virginia, Iowa,
California, Missouri, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Argentina and other areas!
Throughout the year, Manny will be updating SBM readers on the ISPS
program. If you have questions, please email ISPS at
