CYT Board Member John Villani

Good Morning! Yes, you’ll hear me say that no matter the time. I love the morning. It’s fresh, exciting and begins God’s wonderful gift of another day. I love God and Jesus as well, they are my buddies. We discuss all aspects of my life as I believe they are far wiser than I.

I have been married to my best friend, Kristi, for almost 15 years. We have three very wonderful, but very different children. Ian, 19, served a year on mission, most of it in Mexico and is now attending Mt. Hood. He is recently engaged, planning to marry in May 2011. Anthony, 17, is beginning the steps to become a veterinary assistant as he loves animals. Alyssa, 12, is homeschooled our CYT kid. She absolutely loves CYT and the relationships she has developed.

I am currently employed with a large communication and entertainment company as a sales manager. Except for intermittent times in the restaurant industry, I have been in sales since age 10. Kristi and I also own a property management company and have a web based travel business. As best friends, we like working and traveling together.

I have a variety of interests, many call me a “thrill-seeker”. Auto racing, no, not NASCAR, is my favorite spectator sport. I like American LeMans and Formula 1, cars that do not just go in a circle. Activities I enjoy are Snow & Water skiing (I really want to take up both wake and snowboarding this year), bicycling and photography.

Kristi & I have worked with youth in the church for 9 years. CYT has become a new blessing for us as we get to work with youth and have a great way to do outreach. After all, doesn’t everyone want to get in to “show business”? I believe CYT is a magnificent place for youth to be. It’s fun, safe and helps them to learn and practice Christ like values. I am excited about serving you on the board.
