He is married to Patrica McMahon, who has the birth of four kids, Villapiano is the co-director and director of the family-owned preschool along with a day camp located situated in Long Branch. Seashore Day Camp & School was established in 1926, and is described as the first state-wide day camp.

Villapiano got elected to his position on the Monmouth County Board of chosen freeholders in 1987. There, he fought for the establishment of the county’s first shelter for homeless families.
As part of the Republican Party landslide in the 1991 general election as a backlash against Governor James Florio’s tax increases, Villapiano and Jacobson lost their re-election bid and were replaced in the Assembly by Steve Corodemus and Thomas S. Smith. In his book How to Rig an Election: Confessions of a Republican Operative, Allen Raymond described his involvement in the 1991 race on behalf of the campaign committee of Assembly Speaker Chuck Haytaian, creating advertisements falsely implying that Villapiano had awarded himself bonuses after laying off dozens of employees at his day camp, and another piece that charged that Jacobson and Villapiano had been involved with crooked real estate deals. In the 1993 general election, Jacobson and Villapiano ran again for Assembly, losing again to Corodemus and Smith.
In March 2007, Villapiano announced that he would run as a Democrat to fill the New Jersey Senate seat being vacated by the retirement of Republican Joseph A. Palaia. In the November 2007 general election, Republican Sean T. Kean won the seat by a 28,249 to 16,314 margin.
Villapiano played defensive linebacker for the World Football League in 1974 and 1975 with the Houston Texans / Shreveport Steamer. For the season of 1974, Pro Football Weekly named Villapiano to their WFL All-League Squad. As of 1975 Villapiano stated to the Asbury Park Press that he still owed one thousand dollars from the World Football League and hadn’t been compensated for his final six weeks of football however he decided to stay on the field to ensure that the league “wouldn’t breach my contract.”
