He is a 15-year employee of AT&T and is serving his third term as president of the union.

John Olivero, Vice President
Since joining Unity of Daytona Beach along with Kathleen, his childhood sweetheart and wife of nearly a half century, John has been an active member of our church — including singing in the choir, while also “participating in most of the classes and attending most of the presentations.” John joined the Board of Trustees because of his desire to serve our church community using his “rich background in science, education and public leadership.” John worked at NASA at the Langley Research Center before becoming a professor of physics — teaching 21 years at Penn State and 20 years at Embry-Riddle here in Daytona Beach. John’s vision for our church is to help “build the consciousness of love, peace, and abundance throughout our community, our nation, and the world.”
