Biography

Born in Hollywood, into a family of film makers, Tony's grandfather, father, mother, and brother were (and still are) in the film business. At seventeen, having just graduated Mammoth Mtn. High School, Tony started training to become a stuntman. He started training in acrobatics at the world famous "Muscle Beach" in Santa Monica, California. At the same time, he was also doing stunt training at a gym run by a well known stunt coordinator. After winning an audition for a TV pilot about a day in the life of a stuntman, Tony has been working steadily ever since. After stunt coordinating his first show in 1984, Tony realized that coordinating stunts was even more enjoyable. To add to his repertoire, Tony started manufacturing his own stunt equipment and now owns "Action Equipment International," a stunt equipment manufacturing and rental business. Tony has also worked with the California state fire marshal for five years, coordinating the stunts for special effects seminars that are given to industry people to help them have a higher rate of safety on the set.
