I am Tony Avila, full time photographer and a 30+ year resident of Gainesville. As a member of the Gainesville Community, I have coached community soccer leagues, I’ve been involved with the Chamber since it was at the Medal of Honor Park location, and I was President of GAVA for 5 years. As President of GAVA, I created and organized the largest event, For The Love of Art, where we raised thousands of dollars for local students.
Many don’t know, I spent 20 years in Aerospace Quality Assurance before pursuing photography full time.
As an active Chamber Ambassador, including Ambassador of the Year and New Member of the Year, I look forward to serving the Chamber of Commerce and watching Gainesville grow and flourish even brighter than before.
