Sal Ferlise
Chief Executive Officer
Lynchburg, VA
After spending 20 years in Business Management roles at age 40, God took Sal’s life in a new direction. After volunteering with Sports Outreach for close to a year Sal officially joined the team as the COO/CFO. In 2017, he was named CEO. Sal will often refer to himself as a “mule”, as a way of acknowledging that it is only through Gods grace and hard work that he can accomplish anything. Or you may hear the term “Dot Connector”, this speaks to his passion to use strategy, resources and encouragement to help people and organizations achieve greater results. Sal loves to stay involved in anything that encourages growth and serving at Sports Outreach. Our mission to train, equip and deploy leaders, as well as restore hope and transform lives, certainly satisfies this passion. He is married to his wife of 28 years Toni and has a daughter Elizabeth, son-in-law Jon and two grandchildren Isabella and Ace whom he adores and spends most of his free time with.
