Tony is a South Florida native with two younger siblings. He has been in the marine industry for over 26 years and shares a passion for the outdoors, including boating. Boating has been a part of his life from childhood. Growing up, there was always “the family boat,” where fishing was a big deal.

At 19, he was able to take this affinity to boating and turn it into a career by joining the service department of a very prestigious boat dealer for exclusive yachting lines from Europe. This experience allowed him to receive hands-on education in the overall yachting industry. This opportunity opened the doors to him becoming a managing partner at a prestigious business in the marine industry for the US market. He has followed his mentor’s steps in private labeling, marketing, and successful distribution to great product lines for the yachting and general boating industry.

Tony, over the last several years, has worked on giving back to his community by supporting local and national charities, not just with financial donations but also “boots on the ground” in being of service. Tony continues to volunteer at local outreach programs that work towards drug rehabilitation in helping troubled teens and young adults become productive members of our society. Tony serves as Vice President for a non-profit Gratitude Foundation of Miami in supporting 12-step recovery and peer counseling services for the local community, in helping others seek recovery and a new way to live.  He has found that this service has immensely helped his personal growth.

Tony is a passionate believer in physical fitness as a powerful tool for the health and growth of the mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s weight lifting, bike riding, HIIT classes, spin classes, or any other form of training, as he does for his business, he goes all in. He enjoys a great movie, classic cars, is a gun aficionado, hunting, and is big on building stronger bonds with friends and family.
