Tony has been a resident of the Chicagoland area for the majority of his life, however he spent his formative years living in a variety of interesting locations including a cave, a trailer and a closet (literally). Tony began his involvement in the arts at a very young age, joining any band, chorus or theatre he could find. This continued through high school where he kept involved in all areas of performance as well as joining outside groups, such as barbershop choirs, community theatre and local college programs.
