About Mario Inglima

Mario Inglima is a Catholic author, business leader, and community advocate whose life and work are shaped by faith, resilience, and service. Rooted in Catholic tradition yet fully engaged with the realities of modern life, Mario brings a grounded, compassionate voice to conversations around belief, recovery, purpose, and personal transformation.

Mario is an experienced entrepreneur who brings more than 20 years of hands-on business leadership to everything he does. His professional experience—combined with a deep personal commitment to wellness, accountability, and community—has made him a trusted leader both in business and nonprofit service.

Faith, Experience & the Call to Serve

Mario’s writing and advocacy are inseparable from lived experience. His personal journey through recovery has profoundly shaped his worldview and his work. Rather than offering abstract ideals, Mario speaks candidly about perseverance, responsibility, and hope—meeting people where they are while encouraging them toward lasting growth.

He is the author of four faith-based books, each reflecting a consistent theme: transformation is possible, faith must be lived, and purpose often emerges through adversity. His writing resonates with readers seeking spiritual grounding, moral clarity, and encouragement to live with intention in a complex world.

Community Leadership & Recovery Advocacy

Mario’s nonprofit involvement began through volunteer work at the Sussex County Recovery Community Center, where he played an active role in expanding programs and strengthening community engagement. His commitment quickly evolved into deeper leadership, driven by a desire to create meaningful, accessible paths to recovery and wellness.

Mario is also a certified SMART Recovery facilitator, supporting individuals and families through evidence-based recovery practices. Faith and mental health advocacy are central to Mario’s approach. He openly shares how creativity and spiritual reflection have played a critical role in his own healing, and how they continue to inform his work with others.
Writing With Purpose

Writing With Purpose

At the heart of Mario’s writing is a simple but powerful belief: faith is not meant to be compartmentalized—it is meant to be lived. His work challenges readers to integrate belief into daily decisions, relationships, and responsibilities.
His voice is often described as:
 
  • Honest and relatable, shaped by real-world experience
  • Faith-forward but practical, grounded in everyday life
  • Encouraging yet challenging, calling readers toward accountability and hope
  • A Steady & Compassionate Voice

Mario’s blend of business acumen, authorship, creative leadership, and lived perspective brings a steady, empathetic presence to every role he serves—whether as an author, facilitator, board member, or mentor. His leadership reflects humility, conviction, and a deep respect for the dignity of every person.
