Tony started competing in 1974 at the age of 13 in NRA High-Power and Smallbore Rifle matches. Coached as a youngster by his father, a law enforcement officer and competitive shooter himself, he introduced Tony into handgun shooting. Encouraging his son with many long hours of practice on the range, led to Tony competing at many local and state matches. Tony's first out of state match was in 1983 at the Second Chance Bowling Pin Shoot in Central Lake, MI. Finishing in the top 10 of the revolver event Tony won his first gun. This win was the catalyst to what has now become not only Tony’s passion to compete in the shooting sports, but an ongoing love for the shooting sports.

Throughout Tony’s professional competitive shooting career, he consistently proves himself as a top competitor in a variety of shooting disciplines, which includes IPSC, Action Pistol and Long-Range Silhouette Rifle. But its 3-Gun that remains his favorite shooting discipline.

Today, Tony’s yearly competition schedule includes matches around the country and throughout the world all while working a full-time job. Whether Tony’s competing, hunting or representing himself as an industry ambassador for his sponsors and his country abroad, he always takes time to introduce newcomers to the sport. It has become a lifestyle Tony does not take for granted and he enjoys sharing his knowledge. Simply put... Tony lives for the next upcoming competition, training hard at the range and fine-tuning his equipment.
