Bio
Tony started competing in 1974 at the age of 13 in NRA Highpower, Smallbore rifle & later PPC with his Father who was a police officer. His first match outside a local event was in 1983 at the Second Chance bowling pin shoot. Now years later, Tony attends many matches throughout the year, all around the country, shooting a wide variety of disciplines. Shooting or hunting is something he could talk about or do 24/7. Simply put.... Tony lives for the next upcoming match.
Throughout his shooting career he has proven himself as a top competitor in variety of shooting disciplines, be it pistol, rifle & or shotgun. His ability to excel in these variety of disciplines ensures his sponsors high profile exposure and press coverage for their products.
Tony works full time for Evonik Degussa Industries as a Senior Operator, which is a Chemical Specialty Company. Training does not come often being that he works 60 hours a week & family time. So, most of his practice these days comes a day or two before he leaves for a match. This is mostly sighting in & checking his equipment & ammo. Preparation of his equipment is something he always makes sure of.
