Tony’s Personal Bio


When I was a teenager, I had a boss who told me that as you start building your savings, "you work hard for your money, then let your money work for you." That concept was so new and intriguing to me at the time. It really resonated with me as I learned more about Finance during college.

Throughout my education I absorbed all information on Personal Finance and Investing that I came across. I realized that while I could apply this information to myself, I could make quite an impact helping others. This helped form my critical foundation and understanding of the industry. Once I started my career and saw the benefit these services provide, this progressed into a passion for helping others through life-changing financial strategies and proper planning.

I’ve lived in WNY my whole life and moved into the City of Buffalo in 2001, now residing in Buffalo’s Elmwood Village in a home I bought in 2010. I’ve suffered and celebrated with every Bills season since I started watching football in 2nd grade and rarely miss a game.
After proposing to her 8 months after joining Raymond James in 2021, I married my lovely wife Erica in 2022, and we welcomed our first child in early 2023, our son Vincenzo.

When I’m outside of the office, I’m pretty active and enjoy traveling, skiing, golfing, trying out new restaurants with my friends and family, and going to sporting events and concerts.
