Tony began his career in the public sector with the City of Cleveland during the rebirth of Cleveland in the 1980s. Through a strong work ethic and establishing relationships with many mentors in local government, he was introduced to the civil engineering field. He began his career with the Ohio Department of Transportation in 1991, where he worked for more than 20 years, over three different terms. Through his time with ODOT fulfilling their mission of building and maintaining a safe and efficient highway network, Tony developed a great understanding of the importance of partnerships with the private sector.

 

Tony has more than 38 years of experience in leadership and strategic planning. He has relied on communication, teamwork, and critical thinking throughout his career to continually build his skill set.

 

Born and raised within Cleveland city limits, Tony is an avid supporter and fan of all things Cleveland, especially its sports teams. He stays active in his community through volunteer leadership roles in his church, children’s schools, and their extracurricular activities. Finally, he enjoys spending his time outside the office with his wife, their seven children, and one grandchild.
