Hobbies & interests:
In his spare time, Tony is an avid saltwater fisherman, a jazz and blues enthusiast, and a lifetime basketball fan and longtime season ticket holder with the NBA's Miami Heat. He enjoys mountain biking and outdoor grilling, and has traveled extensively throughout the United States, as well as to Mexico, Brazil, the Caribbean, Northern Europe, and most recently to China. He is also the proud "papa" of two shelter mutts: Mojo, a miniature pinscher, and Ranger, a yellow Labrador-chow mix. They make sure that he always wakes up smiling and goes to bed smiling, no matter what the day may bring in between.
