Dr. Chris Romano was born and raised in Ravenna, New York where he excelled as a three-sport athlete. His passion for sports led him to coach high school football and both boys and girls basketball. His love for sports is only matched by his love for Jesus and his family.

Over the past 28 years, Chris has served in pastoral ministry, church planting, overseas missions, and most recently as the President of Vision Christian Bible College & Seminary. Chris has been happily married for 27 years to his high school sweetheart, Tara. Together, they have five wonderful children and six grandchildren.
