Tony was born on the beautiful islands of Hawaii in 1944 where he spent his early years of life until his family moved to Pennsylvania. He lived in Pennsylvania until he entered the military (US Army) at 16 years of age.

Tony is married to his beautiful wife, Debbie, have 4 children, 5 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandson.
Tony is loved by his residents. He regularly recognizes each birthday and has a monthly birthday party. He has planned for his residents activities to enjoy each other’s company with Coffee Time, crafting, bingo night, game/movie night, and potluck dinners. A monthly newsletter keeps everyone informed of events, birthdays, inspections, pest service, and even losses in the community. The residents have great things to say about Tony.
I have seen him spend his weekend trying to help a resident. He does everything he can to see that the residents are safe and taken care of. This means the world to me because we are all senior citizens. It is reassuring to know we have his support and care. S.Y.
Tony has handled all of the ups and downs with superb professionalism. . . . Sometimes I feel like he is taking on a lot, but he always prevails. Tony has never complained about his work. He takes great pride in seeing that his work is a job well done. In my opinion, along with others, that Tony is more than just a manager of an apartment complex. He does it with every ounce of his being and takes great pride in his job. He leaves no task undone. K.S.
