​Tony's career started in finance, particularly community development finance, where he worked on behalf of government programs to deploy capital for business resiliency during the pandemic. This followed Tony's academic work, where he took an interest in human development and was fascinated by how finance could change outcomes, and media can shape perceptions. He later took a break from those interests to embark on a much larger journey that he deeply yearned for. He was inspired to serve, and he joined the AmeriCorps. In the AmeriCorps, he became a U.S. Forest Service Sawyer and a wilderness first responder on a conservation corps chainsaw crew. Out there in the backcountry, he began to write more and become more in tune with the beauty and art all around us in the story of our world. This led him to work on the development of a mini-documentary series, to be distributed with a major studio, to tell those extraordinary stories from all around our world, because he realized it's those simply extraordinary stories that entertain us, and truly enhance our human experience. This project ultimately did not come to fruition, but it catapulted his career to the center of entertainment and production, uniquely following in his grandfather's footsteps, who spent his whole career in television. Shortly thereafter, he began financing and managing creative projects and working on the set of productions. During that time, he had the privilege of working with a number of celebrity partners such as The Kardashian Family, Selena Gomez, and Kelly Clarkson, and has financed projects starring Morgan Freeman, William Shatner, Nicolas Cage, and Anne Hathaway.  As time went on, he became associated with many other projects in arts & entertainment, including SoniMalzone with his long-time friend Jay Soni, whom Tony credits as his original creative partner. Today, Tony’s love for talent, story, and the world is prevalent in everything that he does. He's honored to have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest talents of today, and he looks forward to continuing to produce extraordinary creative stories, and those, "You just had to be there moments."
