On March 7, 2024, my father passed away. He worked tirelessly to take care of us growing up but never had the chance to achieve his own dreams. He loved space, science, and NASA rockets. When I was a kid, he would build model rockets for me, and I never forgot those moments. Along with sending me to Space Camp, he always wanted a better future for me.

​

My daughter launched her first model rocket on May 19, 2024, and we all became hooked. To carry on my father's legacy, I created "Jersey Rocketeer" to showcase the next generation of the Vecchiarelli family launching rockets. We created a YouTube channel soon after and officially launched it on his birthday, February 2, 2026. It will be a work in progress, but we hope you enjoy it. Please give us a follow and like what you see.
