Tony's Story
After graduating from C.B. West, I continued with my music career while working various jobs and taking some college courses. One of those jobs was a part-time gig with a market research company and, though I had no previous computer experience at all, I was tapped to assist in its IT department. Not long after, I went full-time and eventually worked my way up to become the company's lead programmer and statistician, a position I held for more than a decade.
During that time, I floated around between bands as a guitarist, bass player and keyboardist, but most of my work was with drummer and fellow-classmate Greg Webster. As an all-original jazz/rock band, engagements were few and by the mid-1990's, we were doing mostly studio work. It was also at this time that I took on other studio projects, such as writing background music and doing audio editing for companies and local filmmakers.
Around the turn of the century, I began working for myself as a...Expand for more
computer consultant. With many law firms as my clients, I was introduced to many of Bucks County's prominent politicians, and now work on Federal, State and County election campaigns as part of my consultant business.
Being self-employed has given me the ability to adjust my schedule as I see fit, and this has led to my new favorite activity ... coaching on my son's Pop Warner football and Little League baseball teams. This keeps me busy year-round is probably the most fun thing I've ever done.
My wife and I have been married since 1993 when we bought our house in Chalfont, where we still live, and our son was born in 1998. It's our plan to stay in the Central Bucks school system until our son graduates in 2016.
So, there you have it ... the long-haired rock & roller you all knew in high school has transformed into a family man and computer geek with political ties that enjoys coaching youth sports. I would have never guessed that when I was 18.
