Tony started in music ministry in 1980 and has served churches in Oklahoma, Vancouver, WA, Milwaukee, Dallas, and Fort Worth. Following a multi-vocational path, his first career was as a hospital administrator in the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System at hospitals in Portland, OR, Milwaukee, and Chicago. The next career move was as a stay-at-home dad, and then on to teaching in higher education with an emphasis in communication strategy, group formation and decision-making, and racial/ethnic disparities in healthcare. Formation for ordained ministry has been in parish settings in Fort Worth (St. Martin in the Fields and St. Luke in the Meadow), and at Bexley Seabury Seminary in Chicago. He is a proud dad to Katie, a hospital administrator in Tulsa, and Mary Beth, an ICU nurse at the Children’s Hospital in New Orleans.
