ABOUT ME
Hi, Call me Tony
WHERE I COME FROM
I was born in Montclair, California, but i was raised right here in Kokomo, Indiana. Spending the majority of my childhood out near Young America then just north of town in the Cassville area. I graduated from Northwestern Jr.-Sr. High School in 2010 and immediately jumped into an exciting career with the U.S. Air Force as an Aircraft Structures Technician. During this time i was working on fighters and bombers in places like Florida, the UK, South Korea, and Alaska. After my service ended in 2017, I began working at the Indianapolis Airport in Aviation Maintenance with AAR-ASI Aircraft Services before diving into a very rewarding experience in Commercial and Industrial HVAC with the Sheetmetal Workers Local 20 Union at Graves Sheetmetal in Kokomo. In 2021, I reignited my passion for learning at Indiana University Kokomo, earning my Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Sciences. Currently I am on the thrilling journey to complete my Master’s in Public Management and Policy.
A THRIVING CAREER
Throughout the years, I have been actively engaged with several charity organizations and initiatives focused on the lives of our veteran community and assisting the less fortunate. Over the years I have organized events collaborating with groups like Quilts of Valor, Fischer House, Mission22, Operation Combat Bike Saver, the DAV, and many others. I have helped raise money for many organizations such as the Howard County Vietnam Veterans Organization and I volunteer in different capacities to gain insight into the challenges our veterans and our community's encounter. Over the years, I have connected with community members dedicated to supporting low-income families and assisting individuals grappling with mental issues or substance addiction. I have taken part in various community events aimed at helping the homeless and in need.
