Chick-fil-A Valencia Town Center is operated by Tom Williams. Prior to operating the restaurant, Tom was a Naval Officer for over 22 years. He flew the E-2C Hawkeye off aircraft carriers for half his Naval career. The second half was spent as a government financial manager. He served 7 years at the Pentagon as a Budget Officer and completed his career acting as the Comptroller of Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command in San Diego, CA. Tom pursued becoming a Chick-fil-A operator because of the great opportunity to make a positive influence in the community and in the lives of his guests and team members. Tom was proud to serve his country and wanted the same feeling in his follow-on career. In Chick-fil-A, he found a company within which he could continue to proudly serve while being in business for himself, but not by himself. Tom’s vision for Chick-fil-A Valencia Town Center is, “To be the fulfilling dining destination and employer of choice that makes a meaningful difference in Santa Clarita Valley.” Tom has a Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Southern California. He also holds a Master’s of Business Administration and a Master’s of Finance from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. Tom is a resident of Santa Clarita, is married, and has
two children.
