Tony Boni

Executive Director

I am a lifelong resident of the state of Florida and am proud to have called the city of Longwood my home for over two decades. After attending the University of Florida, I went to work for Saxon/Xerox, rising up the ranks from sales representative to the executive team over the span of a 30-year career. In 2020 I purchased a local TradeBank franchise to gear my primary focus on community networking and helping small businesses grow. In addition to serving as Mayor of Longwood, I am actively involved with many community service organizations including Longwood Historic Society, and the Seminole County Chamber of Commerce. I have been married to my wife Amy since 1998 and I have three loving daughters. Our family regularly attends Northland Church.
My role is to serve and guide people with a foundation rooted in biblical principles. I want to leave people with more optimism, more human connectedness, stronger faith, a higher calling, and self-worth. I consider myself to be like a malleable piece of clay that is constantly being stretched and shaped by the amazing people standing in the path I walk, and remain in a growth mindset knowing that God has much for me to do. I aim to continue to challenge myself to be a better human being, centered in love, compassion, and empathy with the work ethic and drive to be all that I can be. I am excited to serve on the board of Christian Tech Center Ministries to build upon this innovative faith-based approach to a unique modern problem affecting our nation and world.
