President

Willy left Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (Shentel) in December 2021 after a 30-year career. Willy served in a variety of senior management positions in his time including SVP of Wireless, and SVP of Sales and Marketing. Willy was instrumental in starting, growing, running, and ultimately selling Shentel’s wireless business to TMobile for $1.95B.

Prior to joining Shentel Willy worked for IBM in a variety of technical sales roles before being offered his position at Shentel while playing golf at Birdwood. Willy is a graduate of the University of Virginia and Stonewall Jackson High School. Willy and his wife Patty have three boys, all who attended Stonewall. Willy has been on the Board of the Shenvalee for 14 years, and Chairman now for eight years.

Tom Linski

Vice President

A family golf weekend at The Shenvalee in 1977 and subsequent purchase of Midway Market prompted Tom Linski, Jr.’s parents to move their family to New Market. After graduating from Stonewall Jackson High School, Tom joined the family grocery business and later owned and operated two local IGA stores with his brothers. In 1997 Tom switched careers to become a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones where he helps individual investors and small business owners. Mr. Linski has been active in the community as a former member of New Market Rotary, serving as president twice, and as scout master of Boy Scout Troop 50. Tom has served on the Shenandoah County School Board, Shenandoah Memorial Hospital Board, Shenandoah County Library Foundation Board, and the New Market Library Board. Tom currently serves on the Valley Health Investment Committee, the Moore Educational Trust Board, and the New Market Planning Commission.

For the past 33 years, Tom and his wife have lived “three doors down from The Shenvalee”. Their three children grew up swimming in Shenvalee’s pool and learning their family’s game out their back door. All three of Tom’s children played high school golf, and he expects that his grandchildren may do the same. Tom believes that “just as we strive to keep our home looking good and running efficiently, I have the same interest in maintaining and upgrading The Shenvalee. It is an honor to serve on the board of The Shenvalee… The Shenvalee is home”.
