Tony is a long time counselor, mentor, and friend of mine. He is kind and hospitable, and always willing and wanting to help in any way he can. Quick to listen and to offer requested advice, Tony's desire to be as useful as possible (to me personally and to many I know) has always been at the forefront. Passion and integrity define him. He is passionate about whatever he puts his hand to do, and I'm sure this new field is no different. He has always stood for the right and honest position as long as I have known him and his trustworthiness is something I have come to lean on. I saw him step in to help out my brother when he got himself into trouble, he was the first to emphasize to me that significant importance of my accomplishments in high school, he was always willing to host and counsel me at various points throughout my life during the 25 years since high school, be it college considerations, employment, complete change of career, help with struggling learner children, etc. Thank you Tony for your care, work, compassion, and kindness! (PS - attached is a photo of Tony noticing a need I had been neglecting and stepping up to serve me and my family... this captures a glimpse of his servant heart!)
